Only looked into the K&N and stock options, as I don't intend to put in a new exhaust (though I would love a twin high level Rene)
K&N does not increase power on it's own - only washable (unlike the OEM) considering the frequency of replacement (I do mine every 11,000 miles) it ain't worth the expense. |

from what i have heard the K&N filter has a hole slightly larger than the stock filter, the bmc (rs i think) has an open top (no hole or snorkel) filter which would allow more air in giving marginally better performance

i would say that the bmc will give off slighly more power and a bit more noise than the k+n as the engine doesnt have to suck through a hole like in the k&n
but i could be wrong i am only making an educated guess, jhs obviosly use the bmc rather than the k+n for some reason other than cost i would imagine |

BMC make three filters! There is the Road and the Race version but the one you are after is the Race RS version.
The Race RS filter is the only one with the cut out (rather than the regular sized hole). Best bet would be to give JHS Racing a call and get one from them. |
