    Biggest gains to be had are running the annular magnets on the fuel lines to line up the fuel molecules for better combustion. This is particularly important in DI engines.

    Well with all that R&D money they couldn't design a decent transmission or rear end either.

    Just imagine the HP gain when you add a Sport hood scoop, and snorkel.

    I had been running a "fuel shark" along with my fuel line magnets but wound up taking it out. It was just plain unsafe and scary. Popping wheelies at every traffic stop gets old in a hurry. Replacing rear tires once a week also got to be burdensome.

    Part of the problem with OE engines is the fact they use black piping for the intake when any tuner will tell you that to make real power you must use colored tubing, preferably silicone.

    At first, when I saw the red lines, I thought "no way, can't be." Then I saw the blue lines, and was all like "whoa!"

    I don't care what color K&N's graph lines are, they are not from an independent lab. That's like listening to the guy sitting at the table with three walnut shells and a pea. Or listening to VW's MPG claims.
