not to mention all the mesh on all the air filters are all cracking, which is really hard to capture on picture.

Jesse.. ALl is not lost, they may not look new, but get some K&N cleaner onto them and clean them out and re oil them, they will work like new!

Thats the beauty of K&N filters... 1,000,000km warranty

:-)

Trust me! Seen the most delapedated K&N filter cleaned and dynoed compared to new... 0 difference

not the point!! its not what i paid for is it!?

not to mention all the mesh cracking and the warped rubber on the filters...im building this for a show car, and these can not be used!

But at least you can see some of the proof how bad mick really is.

And please, please dont make this in to a laughing matter...

No, they flow really well - all the dirt flows thru them really well too unfortunately. The filter might last 1,000,000km, but your engine sure won't.

Let me get this straight:

8x 2nd Hand K&N Air Filters
8x Custom Adapters

$450?

Even if they did require a good clean/oil, sounds reasonable to me.

Still waiting for an original sale description. Lots of fluffing, not much info.

just the 1 car but why does that matter??.... and its not what you think sounds reasonable or not...its not what i paid for, and i cant use them.

if you can see in the pics...they are not just dirty, they are warped and mesh is cracked!

I can forward all the emails in to this thread..if thats what else is needed, though i cant see how seeing the emails is going to help me...ill have to filter through all the emails, so its not all over the place when i copy and paste it in here.

Cant you see how he won't refund any of money my a slight warning here....he wont have to do anything beside simply fund the 400 back in to my account, and he still makes $50.

It's more so we can get the full story of the sale, If you knew what you were buying, then so be it, buyer beware, be sure you know what your buying. If the items were mis-represented in the first place, then that may be a different case.

Ok, SO i was TRYING to help you out of a bad situation, where you could possibly have cleaned them up, readvertised them and maybe made some money back on them? SUrely someone else out there Might want them for their own car...

Have you actually priced up 8 BRAND new custom air filter adapters by themselves?

Is there anything wrong with the ACtual Adapters? Or just the Air filters?

I think it's time this thread was closed. It's not really a forum matter, and none of us should be playing judge and jury, even if we had the full story - which we don't.

Jesse, if you think you got ripped off with the private sale, and that you have enough supporting evidence, then take it to court.

Sorry, but that is all that you can really do.
