Go for the BMC kit...I have 1 fitted to my VTR and it's much better than the raceland kit IMO

if you have the money go for a CDA but you will need extra hoses for maximum output]

orrr

raceland with green, comes with everything you need and it is piss easy to fit

I have a BMC, when getting one just make sure you get rubber/silicon hoses because the stock ones are sh!t. As far as performance goes ive never had a filter on any car thats done anything other than maybe improve throttle response or give it some volume.

Bonus with the BMC is you can wash it but dont just rinse it in the sink, go to a jet wash and give it a manly clean otherwise most of the crap stays firmly in there.

To whoever BAD repped me for this remark, yes is tand corrected, i forgot the raceland does come with its own crappy red filter unless you choose to have a green filter.

Totally slipped my mind, still NO NEED to bad rep me over it

A simple bit of correction would of done, never mind and please leave you name next time it is only kind

Yea those black hoses are the worst ever, the inside foil stuff chips away and goes into the engine as its behind the filter.

The hose is very easy to replace and cheap if you dont want fancy blue silicon, its just something you can't leave on as its such a crap pipe.
