BMC

What makes BMC better?

Have they done tests on both, and BMC performed better or what?

Do the search ... i.e. BMC has less rubber so more filter area.

Sorry man not to rain on your parade ... I was using K&N too before I found out 'bout BMC then I switched out.

+1 BMC is more favored because of greater surface area of actual filter

So I guess that accounts to higher flow rate? Or better filtration?
