I don't disagree, that's why I was asking. My
particular reason for wanting an automobile parts
substitute is the availability--my own town doesn't
have a shop, and although there is one pretty close
by, I do a lot of work at my dad's house, where there
isn't one at all. I therefore mail-order a lot of
parts, and never really liked it, especially when you
need a part now.
Plus, if the filtration is better and this is shown,
why wouldn't I look at it as an option?
However, I don't agree with you that there are no
aftermarket modifications that can improve on the
factory design/specifications. There's a huge
aftermarket industry that doesn't either.
