False Claim Cl Posting!

I came across this current local Cl posting and couldn't believe the false hp claim this guy is promising. Perhaps Zayed should school this guy!

You think thats bad, you should see the guy I sold my spare C43 to. He is asking $19k and claims the car has half the miles it really has. Plus he put E55k wheels on it for some reason.

This setup does breathe better than the stock air box. But it will not produce 20-30HP in any way. I modified the top portion of the boxes and it did do better, anywhere from 8-10HP from my butt dyno.

For what its worth, 200 is not that bad i believe thats what i paid for my set so I can mess with it.
But for him to claim all that power gain is crazy. Maybe his trying to rip someone off or maybe his butt dyno is way out of whack. It takes years to have a good somewhat accurate butt dyno.

It's amazing at how some people will do or say anything to make some $$$. I've always believed in karma and could never try and rip someone off. Everyone works for their hard earned cash and it is simply unethical to cheat someone of their $$$.

I felt compelled to contact the seller and asked him for the dyno results to back his outrageous claim. Conveniently he deleted his ad.
