Lightbulb BMC vs OEM Air filter

I was just chatting on the phone with John who owns Porsche Specialist Cars of Malton who built the GT2 RS in this months GT Purely Porsche Magazine.

The airbox is modified but hes not convinced the BMC filter or K&N gives any more power or induction noise than the standard item, which he kept.

Is the GT2 OEM filter the same as the OEM TT and any comments on this ???

Richard-

Take a look at this post. I commented on picking up 5 wheel horsepower with just the addition of a panel air filter from BMC.

We do offer these if you are interested.

Hope this helps.

OEM vs BMC

Had the OEM on for a week then switched back to the BMC
Today had them both out, if I blow air through the filters the OEM seems to take it more directly than the BMC and with no noticeable performance diff and a better sound with the OEM on my cut down airbox, the BMC goes on the garage shelf !
