BMC VS. K & N (air filters)

  

mowdiddy -> BMC VS. K & N (air filters) (5/7/2008 10:55:35 AM)

Hey guys any info on which filter will net the biggest gain in ponies? Or suggestions on a different filter?

I have heard great things about BMC race filters.  K and N will typically decrease horsepower right out of the box until you get a custom tune using a PCIII.  I don't know exactly what BMC will do out the box but if you've ever seen one they're pretty thin.

Show me dyno numbers and i may believe one is superior to the other.

they are all the same basically... no air filter is goin to really make you feel that the bike is faster.. if it does.. it's in your head

Yeah no chit....IF an air-filter really makes ur bike faster and you can feel it...Then imma put 5 of them on my 954, LMAO.....=-)

I prefer the K&N's, they're what I always ran on my vdubs and chevys. [:)]

I'm probably go with a K&N again (had it in my last bike) just because of the reuseability factor.

I've ready several writeups on several CBR websites and they say K&N did not fair as well in increasing performance as the BCM so I purchased the BCM race filter.  On one forum a guy posted runs of the bike before and after both airfilters were placed on the bike and the BCM was better by 1-2HP.

bignibb -> RE: BMC VS. K & N (air filters) (5/13/2008 7:40:46 AM)

I have a K&N in my 600R and a BMC in my 929 and if I had of known about the BMC filters when I bought my 6 that's what would of been in it!

its better quality in my opinion

Rhu5 -> RE: BMC VS. K & N (air filters) (5/13/2008 9:45:40 AM)

I might try the BMC then. Not too concerned about maximum HP gain (believe it or not [well maybe a little bit]), but don't have a problem trying something different.  

mowdiddy -> RE: BMC VS. K & N (air filters) (5/13/2008 5:11:54 PM)

I ordered the BMC race filter and a pcIII usb today, so thanks for all the input guys.[:D]

vpb -> RE: BMC VS. K & N (air filters) (5/14/2008 3:53:11 AM)

Oh, I've read somewhere in this forum and see that the stock air filter is the better one. Is this true ? Or BMC, K&N are good only when dancing with a PC3 ?

Diablo Runner -> RE: BMC VS. K & N (air filters) (7/3/2008 10:08:47 PM)

I''m pulling this one back up because of the last question. I am in the same boat. I''m not running a PC III and would like to know whether to stay stock on the filter or go aftermarket.

What''s up?

TK954RR -> RE: BMC VS. K & N (air filters) (7/3/2008 10:27:53 PM)

First thing i did when i got my bike was drop in a K&N. I didnt have a pc3 till about 15k miles later, bike ran fine, didnt foul plugs, use extra fuel, or anything that would make me think it wasnt fine.
