best thing to do would be to call them to verify.

Last time I spoke to Oliver, which was just a couple of days ago he indicated something along the lines of a distributor switch or move that was delaying the filters until sometime in June.

It's getting to be about the end of June, any word about the filters from the new supplier? Everything looking OK?

We are still having manufacturer issues so we are using the BMC drop in filters until further notice.

thanks for your patience.

Are these replacements as good as the originals? Looking for something better than my K&N drop-in. Will you have some on hand @ EDO for the afterparty?

The BMC drop-ins are high quality units that are very close in performance to our own drop-in filter and probably one notch above the K&N, although K&N's are still really high quality filters. We certainly can bring some down to MOD, just let us know if you want one.

Is the surface area on the BMC drop-in the same as the Works? Also, can you bring them to MOD? I'm interested in one and would possibly like to pick one up.

I dealt with Oliver over the phone and purchased the BMC filter about a week ago...The filter was delivered to my door in under 3 days and I have been running it for about 4-5 days now...I would definitely recommend this filter to anyone needing a replacement...I can't imagine how the previous Works filter was built any better...Below I have attached a few pictures depicting the filter and the perfect fitment in the stock airbox...I am completely content with this alternative, I had my doubts but Oliver assured me that this product was quality...He wasn't joking either, I'll let my pictures do the talking:

The BMC is a nice alternative to the WORKS for right now. However, the one thing I did notice and do not like (my personal opinion) is that the BMC filter does NOT seal anywhere near as tight as the WORKS filter does in the factory airbox.

I will keep anxiously awaiting the WORKS filter.

Actually, I found that my filter did not have much slack or movement once inside the airbox...Also, from what I have read the previous Works filters were over-sized and many said they had to jam it in to make it fit.

Interesting, mine has about 1/8 inch on either side of slack...maybe I have an exception.
