Default I luv Thai


Okay, I love Thailand although I've never been there,I love the Thai people, I love Thai food. And I love the customs of Thailand. But when it comes to my air filter,...I prefer the one made in America. My ZIP Filter came in the mail yesterday.

a brand new unopened K&N replacement filter for the 6.2 ('14 - '17) which I won't use; paid 75 bucks plus shipping and have been trying to sell for 40 bucks plus shipping and not much interest, oh well.....

You love Thai food but don't want a filter made in Thailand. Which is another way of saying that you will put something Thai in your mouth but not in your car. Just kidding ya' - I bought toothpaste today and noticed that the paste was made in the USA but the tube was made in Austria. Go figure...

The yellow one is the stock.paper filter. which is fine. But I like the ten more horsepower that the high flow filter gives. It took me about twenty minutes to swap them.

I'm curious why you won't use it? It's easy to install and there's a little HP and mileage gain. I wish I'd known you had one ,...We could've made some sort of deal for it.

My Au Pair is from Thailand, I thought I liked Pad Thai before but after having it made authentic, I can say it's much better that way! the local Wegmans even carries ingredients straight from Thailand! Fun fact, their King that recently passed away was born in the US!

Ten more HP? Hard to believe.

Thai women, for the most part are very Westernized, and very attractive.

Pick and choose your maintenance parts, regards their Country of origin.
