Does the Scoop provide any gains if you keep the stock air filter? What about a K&N replacement?
I have K&N and the scoop is MUCH less effective without the filter. Also, remember you won't feel much difference at slow speeds, but when passing on the freeway - wow.

So the BMC filter is pretty much a requirement? It's like $80, right? Seems expensive for an air filter.

To get back on topic....this is a question I was going to ask. Do you just buy the scoop or do you need a filter as well?

I was just emailing with Trinity Autosport who said that the filter doesn't affect any HP gains. There is no difference between stock/BMC/K&N.
Hmmmm interesting....surely there's a thread out there that we can search that can confirm this.

A huge negative distraction to the otherwise mean and classy looking automobile.
