There's different kind of sponsorship for the forum. Major one is paying sponsorship, but admin could of made deal different deal that we don't know bout... & lets face it, Tire Rack sponsor a lot of things, but we don't get any discount (exp: SCCA)

Your wallet will thank you over the lifetime of your car. Or maybe you were expecting too much out of a drop-in filter

I kinda figured we wouldn't get anything and it was just a bit of a salty complaint post (had to post here since the jimmies rustled is now locked ) Even just 5% off would be like $85 savings on my end.

There are more benefits to having a less restrictive filter than just a modest 1-2 hp gain, engine also runs a bit more efficiently and you may see your gas milage bump up a little, at least that's what I have seen since I put mine in.
