Best Air Filters Explained!

Seems as though you can't read. 1 of his points is that all hi flow filters will eventually lead to engine damage by debris going past filter. Which is incorrect. That is the point that I am speaking of.

Once again for those that can't read. A bmc/ k&n "race" filter will lead to damage. The bmc/ k&n "street" filters wont.. They say it on the instructions about the ones that say "race" from bmc/ k&n..

None of the filters listed above are those. Do your research before you say all hi flow filters.. The p08 comes stock on some Ducatis. So that is a stock filter, just not our stock filter. Do you think ducati will sell a bike with a warranty that will damage an engine. Now that's common sense.... I dont care about his opinion, im not arguing that.

So again, for those that might read this thread other than those 2 people who can't read, the 1st four filters listed in my original post wont have your airbox dirty. Only k&n/ bmc "race" filters will (which im not talking about). As for the last filter p08f185 it flows the most and will only be a problem in high dusty cities.

Do your research instead of walking around remaining ignorant about this topic

As much as I am amused by this conversation, people should realise that filters filter. We use 2 micron filters in an application at work. This means particles smaller than 2 microns pass through, larger particles get filtered.....Same with the oil filters. Will the particles passed cause issues? I don't know. I'm not qualified to tell. But I trust the manufacturers recommendations are correct. Plus they mitigate all of this through regular oil changes. And this attitude will probably cost me an engine after 200 000 kms. I can live with that.
