BMC Air Filter

It's the emotions that surround these silly oily filters. I guess when someone parts with 150 bucks for something they have to continually screw around with....well,.. it's just gotta be doing something I mean please make it do something..lol. Ahhh...it's all part of being a motoring enthusiast

No offense but i think you are grasping at straws. Ask Mahle filters why they don't make these. They don't need to.....better filtration technology that will produce better allround outcomes. Same answer with Mann and Hummel. It's all about creating the best outcome for the engine.

Not sure how this is different with road car setups - the GT2 sucks air via the two ducts under the wing, channels through into a rubber sealed airbox. It's bringing in fresh air from directed flow under the wings outside of the engine bay.

Me too. The only evidence i've seen to date basically confirms they do zip.....oh hang on....it gives one something to do on a rainy day. An enthusiast does likes to tinker.....just sometimes that tinkering creates more problems than it solves lol.

But a street car? The gains would need to be massive...

without anyone having established this debate is anything more than an academic pursuit, ( replete with sketchy, if not purely anecdotal *evidence*(?) that oiled vs stock actually MATTER in terms of significant or even measurabale gains, i'm just glad my impending *upgrade* from the 996t platform to the vaunted 997t, will enable me to make many of the same kinds of circular arguments and assertions, without the previously required "learning" curve in other words, i'm sure i'll learn more. but possibly not much in the area of air filtration

now you're talkin'. i believe that may be good for some genuine and measurable gains. cone filters don't bother me at all. my next engine mod if i keep 'er.

I also had oiled up MAF sensors after months of fitment. Porsche would not warrant the new sensors due to the filter. I had to source Bosch OEM parts and fit myself to keep the cost down to $500 to fix. So a filter install that gives you no power and negligible sound improvement cost me $650. Hhhmm! Sounds like a good idea to me.
