Air Filter Comparison:Stock/BMC/K&N

[OB_Cisco San Jose]

Called the dealer for a replacement Air Filter and the dealer said that it is a speical order item and the price is $48.99.I was wondering what is the price for the BMC and the K&N filter and what is the advantage of using either of the other filter than stock.I know that replacing the stock air filter would mean shelling out almost $50 per replacement.I don't like blowing out the stock air filter with the air hose cause I think that would not clean out the filter that good as having a new one installed.Any info is welcome.Thanks

About 3-4 more horsepower from the BMC over stock and can clean and reuse.

Just had my 7500 mile service, they checked my air filter. It was fine, replaced about 7000 miles ago. Payed $79.00 for a BMC. Did not have to clean it yet. Filter suppost to last about 100,000 miles ?
And yes it did give me more HP..

First thing I changed on the busa was putting a BMC air filter in and steel braided hydraulic lines. More horse power and more braking power. ;-)

Also, I firmly believe in re-usability. I've only put 1000 miles on it since the filter was installed and it's looking clean.

One of the easiest horse power increase methods there is.
