Default Air Filter for GT3.

I've heard people changing the stock air filter on the GT3 to a BMC unit.
Has anyone done this, and is their much or any improvement?
What is the main benefit for changing it?

Thanks,

Richard

Just the fact that you can clean, re-oil and re-use the BMC as opposed to changing the stock one. There is nothing wrong with the Porsche factory filter.

A little more induction sound too, but not as noticeable as when switching the air filter on a stock 996 or 993. It is harder to hear the difference on a GT3 since the exhuast is louder in stock form.

It's the same as the GT2. Call Stable Energies for price.
