K&N v BMC on a 2013

What filter is the best for a 2013

On a 2008 bike the BMC was the best air filter for power and torque (have dyno tested both), anyone an idea for a 2013 bike?

need one soon and not sure what to get

 

I went for pipercross race with pc5 scorpion exhaust O2 eliminator think it was around 168 at wheel but my d212 was sticking and stopping roller

 

I had a full arrow titanium ten kate exhaust, BMC, plugged airbox, PCV and was pumping out 174.8 on my 08. Looking for same or little bit more on the '13 bike


Is your exhaust hot? or does it just look like that?
that's one sticky tyre you got there, surely losing a few BHP there with that?

 

Pipercross race here too .....;foam filter are better than other

 

but after a year or 2 you can order a new one, or can you clean these?

 

It's a red ring in it for summat lol . I had it dyno at dynojet he wanted to swap it to a road tyre so he could get max hp but as long as my fuelling was correct I wasn't too bothered he said he would of expected another 9-11 bhp without the issue with tyre but I'd been there nearly all day . He said bring it back when loosened up as it had only done 560 miles

 

Clean and oil Just as you do any other mesh gauze filter wash and lightly re oil

 

K&N filters for me, they seem to last a lot longer that the foam variety as the foam becomes brittle

 

Pipercross are the same gauze as k&n Richard dynojet said they use the same materials but pipercross was his recommended choice this is race filter though

 

I've got the BMC filter in my 2011 blade but I wasn't impressed with the fixing screws which cut a new pitch thread in the lower part of the air box. I ended up wiring the screws just in case they came out and found their way down the bell mouths. The standard filter had screws that were retained even when undone. I'd check which of the filters has the nearest to standard fixings.

 

pipercross for me......cause I got it at the right price
