BMS or Attack Blue?
I don't drive the car much so dirt isn't an issue. Should I go with a BMS air filter for a slight advantage over the Attack Blue?

I have the BMS filter and I can tell you that it provides a very noticeable increase in throttle response on my Z06. It also virtually eliminated the off idle stumble that is common on these cars.

Thank you for the replies everyone. I was looking into the BMS today and noticed they offer a filter to fit the OEM Jake air box. Anyone have that? Mostly for looks I guess, right?

This is great info. Does the filter increase the sound a little as well?

I didn't notice any increase in sound. Based on my research, the stock intake provides excellent air flow. The restriction is at the OEM filter. The BMS filter has a significantly larger opening, which seems to make quite a difference. It's supposedly much more noticeable on the Z06, which is what I have. The Blue filter should have similar performance.

Ok, thanks! I will probably just go with the BMS even though it's not washable. I don't drive the car enough to worry about a washable filter.
