That is how i see it,although others will swear by the BMC.I just dont think the BMC is worth about £180.It's not like i havent bought one either because i did, but it's up to you

What made me take off the BMC was mainly the look of it under the bonnet.It just looked scrapy, You couldent see the carbon fibre case as it was stuck down where the origional box sits.Also it looked lost under there.So i fitted a K&N direct replacment filter into the origional housing.Straight away i noticed a lack of response.I then removed the resinator box and put in a 6" stainless tube.The throttle response was again greatly improved and the Torque i had lost regained.I will look at the intake pipe in the summer and try to increase air flow to see if that makes a bigger improvment.
