I ordered the BMC filter from Fabspeed. should be here mid next week. I am also contemplating an AWE touring exhaust, but not sure yet. I will update this after I install the part with my impressions. I am not expecting magic, but a little less restriction may help. I have 850 miles on my car at the moment.

What does the BMC filter do? I was also contemplating the AWE exhaust having been influenced by the negative press, but in person I think it's perfectly fine as is, but then again I think the basic sound system in the 718 sounds good enough.

Ok just an air filter, I thought it may have been something relating to the exhaust given the nature of the post

Is it the same as K&N filter (even though they don't have it for our cars yet)?

 

[Andros X Thomson]

It is similar. From what I have read, Porsche uses BMC as oem in the GT3. The quality is also significantly better than K&N as well. I'll post some picture when it comes in.

I got it today. Didn't install it yet. I got a few of the trim pieces off to access the engine, but ran out of time. Might ask the dealer to do it. It's pretty tedious accessing the engine. Lol

Installed today. Sounds better than stock. The stock filter is heavy duty paper. Looks like a dram filter.

Look great filter ..

 

[Andros X Thomson]

Yup. Same type in the 918 apparently from what the dealer tells me. Also standard in the Gt3.

Was it easy to install? How is the sound now?

I'd also love to know if there was any sound benefit.

 

[Andros X Thomson]

Not sure about sound. Maybe a little. Louder Diverter valve sound.
