jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 20y 10m 27d Posted 15/11/04 07:24 AM Share Posted 15/11/04 07:24 AM Noticed a dyno graph on the wall of an exhaust shop the other day selling the virtues of a BMC filter over all others.The results ( on an XR6 T) reflected a paltry .1 rwkw improvement over standard for the K&N and a whopping 9rwkw over standard for the BMC. I have a K&N at present and other than a slight improvement in initial throttle response I cant say that I really noticed a difference in performance.Dare say you would notice a difference with BMC's reported 9rwkw increase. Is the BMC really that much better than the K&N. Anyone had experiences with both?

Flukey Seriously Flukey Member Donating Members 4,354 Member For: 21y 1m 15d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 15/11/04 10:50 AM Share Posted 15/11/04 10:50 AM At the Dyno day in Melb last Saturday, one of the guys ran his car with the stock airfilter for the first run. 2nd run, he installed the BMC. From memory, 7rwkw increase with the BMC. Good enough for me. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14011-bmc-vs-kn/#findComment-187526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also asked the about the BMC and it was $50 dearer. for the sake of 1 rwkw I would go the K&N :banghead: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14011-bmc-vs-kn/#findComment-187576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
