BMC air filter coupled with an RPi scoop. It costs $184 and we do carry it as well.

For the cost, I think stock is a good replacement since you can't really feel the increase of 5-7 horsepower. Some people recommend BMS or is it BMC and these are carried by our vendors.

I vote for stock, that way you dont have to worry about filter oil fouling up your MAF. I just replaced mine yesterday.
