K and N check received today!!

I got my $134 check in the mail today!! See the attached scan if it works.

Thanks again for helping me get this!!! They gave me half of the full cost of my repair from Smythe European in San Jose, CA. I'll take it!! I'm giving away my K and N's too, I don't want to take another chance of any problems. I may buy some for my Acura MDX?

Alright! It's amusing that a company who claims their product doesn't harm your car would pay for damages it did

This thread hasn't been up that long. The ferocity? Did you use your thesarus for that one? In the origional thread we discussed the probable causes, and why I felt it was BS.

It was admitted in the last thread that he provided enough facts to substantiate his activity.

Seeing the check is not a suprise at this point.

We are however missing the moon pie.

I raised the because.....and I quote "it voided the warranty".I raised it then and I'll raise it now - . If K&N is good enough for the DTM taxi's then its good enough for anything on our roads.

My input to this thread was that we all had come to an agreement on this, and that no one needed to come forward.

Go find some smileys or something.

I am surprised K and N didn't go after Smythe European and make them pay for my repair. It does seem strange that they would give me money for a problem that they said will not cause a problem. Humm?

I'm not saying that K and N filters are bad, I'm just reporting my story. The K and N's may not have been the cause of the problem. They blamed the problem on the filters so they made me pay for the repair! I probably should have argued the bill with Smythe in the first place. Oh well, at least I got some money back.
