Common sense tells us that more air flow = more power... but do a K&N or BMC filter really make any difference on the VFR (specifically 6th gen)?
I'm also a BMW (car) enthusiast and cold air intakes tend to give you almost no horsepower, even when paired with other mods. Of course, I know there are other cars out there that do get power.
The stock air filter looks pretty good. The K&N seems to have a smaller area. The BMC looks to be about OEM-sized. I don't like cleaning and re-oiling filters - I'd rather spend $25-30 on an OEM filter and replace it every 15k miles than re-oil a $75 filter assuming similar performance.
I just installed a PC3+coyze and have gutted cans on their way to me - just wondering if an air filter will 'complete the system' or if it's 'not really necessary'.
