Air Filters

[shawndama]

Is there any other air filters other then PPI?

[EDL]

Carbonio and EVOMS are the only other brands right now but if you want BMC filters then PPI is the only one.

I have the EVOMS intake and I have been happy with it... Stasis is coming out with a manifold intake system that should be interesting... I think the PPI/Carbonio are extremely expensive....

I don't see filters for the R8 on BMC?.......... Amen..... PPI/Carbonio are just not worth it. Hopefully Stasis will deliver something soon.

You guys can adapt any filter to work. PPI used BMCs in their kit. The crucial parts are the manifold adapters. Once you have the correct adapter you can order up any filter you want. A good fabricator could cut/chop/rebuild the stock filter manifold to accept a reusable/cleanable filter. Pics of a stock filter would enlighten...will post soon. \"/

Where can i buy the manifold adapter?

[harrison]

That is the dilemna. The cost of the adapters FAR exceeds the cost of a pair of filters. Remember, K&N filters are U.S standard, and the BMCs are Italian metric sizes. You are pretty much stuck with buying a kit. When I purchased the PPI kit, it was exclusive to PPI. Now there are many copies to choose from. \"/

Hi Shawn,



My name is Kristoff Barnes – STaSIS Area Manager for SoCal – Tifani forwarded me your information.

Does that mean us Carbonio users are stuck if Carbonio disappears?

Ian,
how would you be stuck? Doesn't the Carbonio products come with the adaptors? if so, then its just a regular K&N filter at the end.
