For you yes. For anyone else, no. They are all smart enough to do their homework rather than seek out the cheapest possible BS that they can find.

Happy New Year.

It looks like a K&N, how much difference can there be without the brand name? Not much from what I see...

Lots!

My car has the right emblem on the hood and four wheels so how much difference can there be between it and a 917?

You're making a silly comparison between apples and oranges, but I'm comparing apples to apples...

No, you're not. Chinese companies have made "exact" copies of several of my machines. US companies have purchased them with their employees livelihoods on the line, thinking they were saving money on a machine to keep the company afloat . Now they are hurting because the Chinese POS is a POS that costs more in the long run. Do you want to save $20 and risk your engine's longevity?

well put.
Dude take our adivse and spend the extra 15 bucks on a K&N. Companies like K&N spend lots of money on research and development of their products. Chinese companies use cheap plastic, cheap oil, cheap paper filter, and a design with no engineering behind it.
just my .02
