Well....


I guess this solves the "I need K&N because it makes more power" issue.


We have half the filter, and make 1/4 the power.

And I don't know where the heck they've been driving that car but that air filter is nasty! I thought we had it rough with all the stuff we have to take apart to get to ours lol.

I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah I can't believe they admitted accidentally draining some of the tranny fluid because they thought it was another oil plug. That's Jiffy Lube level stuff there.

Well, I don't know about ya'll, but at the next cars and coffee I'm going to casually mention that my car shares the same intake filtration system as a Bugatti. By "casually mention" I mean to anyone that even walks by my car. In fact, I'm not above walking around the parking lot and telling it to complete strangers.

Looking around at their shop there is no shortage of exotic machinery in there. Frightening.

I share your words. Never would have thought.
Does this mean that the Filter is now going to have a bigger premium?

928 was so ahead of its time that it used an air filter from a future super car. When I sell my 928, I will advertise with "Bugatti Veyron air filter upgrade"
