GVA: BMC drop in filter

sejoon85 · 02-06-2008, 07:52 PM

Hey Vancouver people. Not sure how many of you guys would be intereted, but I just talked to Advance motorsport in Coquitlam and they said they are getting the BMC drop in filters and they are selling them for $95 + tax (12%). Which is $106.40 for those who don't like math.

The cheapest I found from other vendors was $98 shipped. But then plus duties and stuff, I think advance's price will be cheaper.

Just giving you guys the heads up.

For those who don't know advance motorsports.

BMC filters are suppose to give good gains for a drop in. At least from what I've heard and read.

Gen_E92 · 02-06-2008, 08:33 PM

if you want i can sell you mine for $100 brand new unopened. otherwise i'll just keep it until i get my car back.

sejoon85 · 02-06-2008, 08:46 PM

I might Gen E92, give me a day to think about it.

Thanks

No additional group-buy discount?

sejoon85 · 02-06-2008, 09:22 PM

Hmm, doubt it but i guess it all depends on how many people would be interested in it.

BMur · 02-06-2008, 09:53 PM

We should definitely start a group-buy then.

Can we by any chance pay cash and evade the taxes?

sejoon85 · 02-06-2008, 10:35 PM

I'll ask and see.

I'm just contemplating whether I should just get the drop in or get the CAI.
Any opinions?

advance i dont think allows the cash + no tax kinda thing.. i asked that when i wanted to buy my tires there, and they said no cause they dont want to deal with issues of getting caught.

BMur · 02-06-2008, 11:01 PM

Apparently CAI's don't benefit turbocharged engines, as any cold air that enters will be heated through the turbos and then cooled by the intercooler anyway. Plus there's also the huge cost associated with it, so I guess economically speaking a filter would be better?

Yes, I believe this is true also.

So BMur, CAI are not necessary huh? Well then back to getting the DPs for me i guess lol

BMur · 02-06-2008, 11:29 PM

Yeah, I guess not. Damn, I'm eventually gonna have to get those Riss DPs as well.

sejoon85 · 02-06-2008, 11:40 PM

I don't know, those DPs are pricy. Im thinking catted would be better. Ahh so many things do with so little money lol

Gen_E92 · 02-07-2008, 01:28 AM

CAI is not worth the price if ur not running any piggybacks. The more power you have the more the stock intake becomes a restriction.

sejoon85 · 02-07-2008, 02:27 AM

Decided to not go with the CAI route
