BMC Picture request - pics added

[Spanky]

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a picture of the INSIDE of a BMC carbon enclosed filter?

ive just bought one second hand for £30 but not sure if its genuine or not.

the enclosure itself appears to be real carbon and has a sticker saying "BMC air filter" but other ive seen have CDA wrote on :/

inside is what looks like a KnN cone.

Any help would be good :)

Thank you.

Na they are all really bad filters i got told to scrap mine by RS tuning in Leeds because it was restrictive and that was on a cammed vtr.

Yep theyre shit
I had one on my cammed vts and it made a massive restriction

Best setup for power imo is the standard 16v box with a straight cold air feed and a k&n filter

hmmm.

ive been on the BMC website and you can buy a replacement filter for the CDA.

ive measure the box up and one will fit.

You guys think that would be ok?

[AlexB]

Btw im talking about genuine bmc in my post above
Not the replica

Cant imagine how bad the reps would be but i bet theyre shite

[Spanky]

ahh i see.

Would this not meen that the likes of the raceland enclosed etc are also the same?

Did they say what the best set up is? Just a standard air box with green cotton filter?

I was under the impression that the bmc was awesome, I use one but I've never had a vtr with the standard box

Cheers

Didn't say but i fitted the standard box with a green filter. I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that the bmc was a load of shit now and only got its name from looking good and being carbon.

Ah right, yeah I didn't know that lol. Thank god I didn't buy it!

Arent ITG maxogens about the only decent carbon enclosed ones? At least big brand generic ones that comes to mind
