There's no right way to install them on most cars. And they don't filter.
And they inherently get oil on your MAF/IAT/whatever, while altering the velocity that air hits the MAF relative to how much the engine is actually consuming, compared to what it expects.
when they're filthy, they almost work.
I bet you also swear by your scotchblocked resistor "performance chip" across your MAF. Anyone who doesn't like those things probably just didn't have a real professional install it, amirite?
