An Open Challenge to the Aftermarket

esfourteen

It's not that I don't agree on some level. It would certainly be nice if manufacturers only put out the best products that showed pros and cons against competitors products, but its completely unrealistic, there would be no market.

Regarding the specific comparison we were discussing, g3 vs panels, burden of proof does not apply here. Stillen does not claim to be better than any specific competitors parts, they claim an increase in power over stock. Which is proven. Thats all any part manufacturers do. Why should they be required to prove that their part is better than anyone else's? What happens when a new intake comes out? Is stillen now obligated to do a comparison against EVERY intake that competes with their product? You mentioned "at least compare it to drop ins" but why only drop in filters, where do we draw the line and who decides it?

In the end, it's up to the consumers to decide, as it was and always will be.

Jordo!

No of course not -- I would just like to see clear evidence of how much better the pod does than the panel.

Hell, even K&N won't do that -- and they actually sell both types

Of course they're not required, just like wheel salesmen aren't required to post weights -- it's an open request (if challenge sounds too unecessarily aggressive) to the aftermarket to go the extra mile.
