None. Better use original filter or you can use dry filter but you have to search. Cause they using oiled base filter.

No. The OEM filter must be replaced.
The BMS Intake will increase HP/Torque and makes the car sound aggressive at the cost of lower Fuel Economy. I removed mine and re-installed the OE airbox/filter so I could take my car in for service. My MPG has increased by an average of 8 MPG.
The K&N drop-in has had mixed reviews. If there is any increase in airflow- it is usually the result of less filtration.

The BMS Intake will give you an increase in Power/Torque and a more aggressive sound, but you will have a decrease in Fuel Economy.
You'll have to decide if it's worth it.

FYI I had the BMS intake and removed it. The BMS cone filter is ACTUALLY a K&N filter media (it's stamped right on the thing!).
I agree with the above statement - not impressed with the aftermarket air filter options, especially the BMS - I went back to stock and like it much better.
I do however enjoy the BMS tuner - that is pure gold right there!
