BMC Air Filter?

Does anyone have a BMC air filter in their Evo? They are similar to the K&N/Works replacement filter. I used to use one on my sportbike and it was pretty nice. Flowed better than the K&N in every dyno comparison that I saw. Ferrari even uses them in their F1 cars

CBRD uses one and I have mine on order. They are about 30% larger than the K&N filters.

I have one in my IX MR and I've modified the top of the airbox with a louvered 5" x 6" ss inlet. I used one in my Hayabusa back in the day. Much better quality than the K&N and larger filter surface area. Seat of the pants......feels better.

yes, the surface of the filter itself is larger.

BMC is one of the largest suppliers for F1, ALMS, FIA MOTO GP, etc etc...

they make excellent filters...

How can they be 30% larger and still fit within the factory air box? Do you mean that they have 30% more surface area or that the dimensions are 30% larger?

the kn filter has a large frame to hold the filter... the bmc is made with a thinner frame, that is a softer material that fits very nice and snug in the box.

i prefer them, therefore why we are becoming a dealer right now.

also for pipercross (who makes the ralliart filter)

No issues with the BMC filter, ran it in the EVO until I upgraded the Turbo. Fitment is perfect and quality is superior..
hope that helps...

I have one, I have nothing to compare it to besides the stocker tho. Seat of the pants felt better, hard to explain maybe a little low end? Throttle response is a little better too
