Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 8m 21d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 03/12/03 09:00 AM Share Posted 03/12/03 09:00 AM Hi all , whilst I would ideally like to go the whole hog on mods ,the pocket wont permit it right now , what with the having refinanced the mortgage to fund the ex's new home, interest rates on the rise etc.So I thought I would fit an after market air filter , after reading up on it here at xr6 turbo.com.au I decided on a Hi flow BMC panel filter.After loosing a bit of bark off the knuckles trying to grt the clips back on (seal is tight as now. yes yes the airbox) I went for a spin.......Seems to have more power particularly down low , revs out more freely and the exhaust note seems a bit deeper particularly when up it.So for $ 160 seems like a pretty reasonable addition for not much cost.BTW , the standard filter was disgusting after only 10 000 ks , so keep an eye on em.

bkofoed Member 90 Member For: 22y 1m 28d Posted 03/12/03 09:42 AM Share Posted 03/12/03 09:42 AM Yup I've done this too. Go the airbox mod (100mm rubber "PVC pipe joiner" hacked onto xr8 intake trumpet - search for this) and you'll up the ante again- then exhaust, then chip....It's all good in the T.BTW: Try a 12mm or so ring spanner over the airbox clips when lifting them into place, so the knuckles stay in A1 condition BK Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/7809-bmc-air-filters/#findComment-70743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 03/12/03 04:16 PM Share Posted 03/12/03 04:16 PM I too have the BMC panel filter. I also added a 2nd air intake (home made for $30) it was a great improvement. You can also get a replacement set of straight through pipes for the centre muffler for about $130-$150. Great sound and some more performance too.

BMC Panel filter is great. Centre Muffler, No No No No No. Also the 105mm plumbers coupling is a much better fit for the airbox adaption. Better still go the entire XR8 pod setup and see the thread for the standard T intake to fit into the XR8 Pod as well, plus a BMC pod filter. Now that's breathing air Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/7809-bmc-air-filters/#findComment-75736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
