From what I have seen, the BMC is simply a direct replacement for the stock paper filter. It is certainly larger than the AFE and seems to be of similar size to the OEM one. But I cannot comment on how it compares to the AFE noise-wise. |
With this set up air intake surface area has been reduced - only an observation. I don't know what affect this has.
I have BMC filter and definitely the induction noise is a lot louder compared to OEM. Concur with Stu
I don't buy the crap that it has increased any power or the throttle response. That's largely due to the respective tune.
Nice clean car
