Step by step guide to how you mount BMC open air filters and get a RS-like sound in your 4.0l Porsche Spyder, GT4 and GTS models. Same goes for any 981 or 718 models!
The best mod I have done so far. Beats a $$$$ aftermarket exhaust!

[@muratk.8296]

I have the BMC filters in my 981.GT4. and they sound quite good. With the filters on, your car started sounding closer to a 981 sibling; although still a bit less volume compared to. Well done with the car and video - cheers

[@garfieldrawkz]

Just completed the BMC filters installation after watching this video tutorial. Everything went smoothly except that nut at the right bottom corner of ECU. It took a bit of fiddling but managed to do it eventually. Thanks for the very clear and concise instructions.

[@tedkramer1208]

AWESOME MOD!! Love it. Deeper rougher sound. No need to spend on an exhaust any longer. $10k savings in my book!! Thanks!!

[@Joanbcn68]

I just did it on my 4.0 GTS. It tooks me less than 45 min. Really well explained. To remove the tricky nut under the ECU, was easy with a #10 tube wrench. With exhaust stock, a bit better sound over 6.500 rpm to limit, but not outstanding. Thank you !

[@leonardoluc6362]

OMG what a beautiful car the 718 Spyder, sounds great money spend wisely on this mod for sure i am going do the same. Yes people smile on yr face open driving the Spyder is amazing.

[@neilturner6749]

That’s very interesting and I will consider it for my 718 GTS when it eventually arrives. I have a BCF exhaust (back box only) ready to fit immediately so we will see if I still want more noise ! Thank you for sharing your time, money and hard work...

[@metalone2321]

would you upload videos with the BCF rear ? I'm planning to do it also

[@Gaara_du-desert.]

Remove the opf, keep the exhaust stock, the bmc air filters is a plus . Have it slightly remap> 450hp and a true Porsche gt sound ,you will forget about the 981😎

[@clu4u]

You’re dreaming of you think >450hp is possible with a remap and air filter.

[@Gaara_du-desert.]

Well… dreaming or not 😂. It is not a “simple remap and air filter” but the removal of the opf cancels a big restriction in the exhaust… and the remap does make sense then…I also have the car and the power chart. Mine makes 452 hp and 451Nm.

[@718.spectre]

@@clu4u most tunes for GTS 4.0 and GT4/Spyder are rated at 430-440hp. 450 is in reach with high flow filters and OAP+back box upgrade.

[@BillLee3]

@@718.spectre I'll buy 430-440 on the GTS 4.0 tune, but is it mostly because they raise the redline? That's something I would not want to do. (New GTS 4.0 owner here and probably not messing with it until warranty runs out).

[@718.spectre]

@@BillLee3I also have a GTS 4.0. The engine is 100% physically identical to the GT4s engine. The only difference is the GTS 4.0 will start to close the throttle plate at high rpm to drop the peak power by 20hp. Most tunes will bring the redline up to 8000rpm (equal to the GT4s) so it’s no detriment to reliability. Peak power occurs at around 7600rpm on the GT4, so the raised redline isn’t what’s generating the extra power. The power bump is coming from the throttle plate actually staying wide open (which it doesn’t on the GTS).

[@WFO.]

Sounds glorious.

[@turahtid]

I installed these filters and yes they made a difference. I have a 718 Spyder with the JCR rear exhaust only. The main difference is between the 5-8k rpm range, the intake sound is louder. Thank you for the installation guide!

[@SC-xy7cn]

Are you telling me that the JCR EXHAUST upgrade is only noticeable from 5-8 k rpm ?

[@jortepap]

Absolutely perfect👌 GT4 RS has even louder intake sound but this intake sounds better imo. GT4 RS intake sounds a bit too "buzzy".

[@kevinlueng1247]

Thank you for another great video. I just replaced mine filters with BMC along with 15 others Spyders and GT4s. GT4 will take longer time to change. My review is base on 718 Spyder. Stock OAP, JCR REAR EXHAUST, no valve controller. At 4000km, it sounded amazing. I only drove for 25mins. It does put a smile on my face. IMO, it's worth it.

[@cartergarnon6299]

You’re my hero.

[@predragbojanic8922]

Great vid! Will do this on my Spyder this winter. Will I see you at Mantorp on the 9th?

[@laurencekenyon8133]

Thank you for the guide. The instructions are good but it may take just a bit more effort i.e. pulling the originals if car is new, getting to the lower ECU nut and I broke a tab on drivers side trim cover. I had the opportunity to have 718 & 981 side by side. The air cleaner helps but it is not going to change the sound to be as good as the 981. Probably worth the time and money. But I don't see it as a "magic" inexpensive alternative to an exhaust system. I'll see how the epoxy holds tomorrow.

[@Rockit181]

damn that sounds good

[@hammermc888]

Definitely the best sound mod per $ spent on my 718 Spyder. It was already a huge step up when I upgraded with Soul GPF bypass & valved exhaust muffler, but somehow I can only catch that howling intake occasionally. With BMC open air filters, it's RS howl anytime above 4k rpm. Even with the valve closed & sport mode off. Now I started questioning if the aftermarket muffler is even necessary.

[@trevormcguff1697]

Thanks for the tip. Will try BCM filters before throwing on the Soul

[@adamcramer4198]

interesting.. I installed the OAPs on my spyder. made a big difference. so much so I decided to skip an exhaust. I do like the idea of 'hearing' more from the cockpit from the intake. I wish there was a before and after vid.... but you really noticed a difference? also, any changes in the exhaust note... down shift 'burbling'.. im hoping this will allow for more of that great burble that I got on my 981.

[@ThePetrolHeart]

I did this mod on my current Spyder and done it in the past to 981 and all of my cars actually, and to me it does close to zero difference. BTW I also have CG X pipe with OPF delete pipes and that is the best thing you can do to 982 4.0 engine. Stock exhaust sounds so bad, its horrible, and it's crazy how they keep doing it also on GT4RS and upcoming Spyder RS.

[@henr1k5]

How's the drone with the CG X-pipe before and after OPF delete pipes?

[@AncientAviator]

If this mod "does close to zero difference," why have you done it on multiple vehicles?

[@larrycable984]

@ThePetrolHeart I agree - you can really not detect any significant improvement in sound...

[@larrycable984]

@@AncientAviator while there is little or no improvement in sound, the BMC filters improve airflow into the engine and thus provide a minor performance improvement

[@ThePetrolHeart]

@@henr1k5 I would say the drone is definitely there, but it's not that bad considering it's a sports car... one thing worth mentioning is that the drone is stronger with valves closed on CG X-pipe, so if you're considering an exhaust just get cheaper one without valves.

[@MadRalph22]

Thank you for the installation instructions. I have a question, when quickly accelerating or when giving intermediate gas, I now have a short insertion of a metallic sound, is that with you also with the short metal sound?

[@tomasweber21]

Super video, thanks. Do you think that the same result can be achieved with the K&N filters?

[@WheelsToys]

Yes, absolutely! Even though the KN are a bit smaller.

[@yuaus]

Is there drone while cruising on the highway? Thanks!

[@BillLee3]

OK, advice from you and anyone in the community who's done the same. I am doing the cargraphic mod rather than the collar mod, even if much more expense, because I want to be able to make the car run very stealthy on the freeway and in neighborhoods. However, I want to be able to push a button and get as much of the roar of the flat-6 as I can, across the full rev range. I think I'd like more induction noise as you get with the mod in this video, but I don't want to jeopardize the ability to run quietly when I want. Is this mod kind of a building thing that is really only different above 4K? If so, it sounds like it's a bargain. But I am absolutely against it if it really affects the car when puttering around neighborhoods or comfortably cruising on the freeway. Thoughts after having it for a while?

[@dwpersGC]

Any updates on the exhaust @Wheels & Toys?

[@ihhh8198]

Tjena Andreas, Finns de något sätt att kontakta dig, har en liten fråga gällande min GTS 4.0. Vi snackade lite sist i kommentarsfältet gällande mitt Fabspeed Lightweight jag skulle sätta på vilket är gjort, och den låter super bra nu. Men upplever att vid kallstart att den låter lite konstigt första 5-10 sekunderna och ”studsar” / vibrerar lite, är detta normalt för 4.0orna ? :)

[@WheelsToys]

Tja! Enklast är nästan instagram (samma namn där). :) Roligt att du är nöjd med systemet! Får du någon drone runt 2000 eller klarar du dig? Min gör samma sak, men det gjorde även min 3.8 tidigare. Lägger sig snabbt dock. :)

[@ihhh8198]

@@WheelsToys Ja systemet gjorde verkligen mycket på bilen så det är kul, han som installerade det pluggade dock vakuum slangarna i början och inte så som många andra gjort att man pluggar dom och sedan fäster dom i bilen i någonting. Men borde kunna gå att återställa ändå. Om jag förstod det rätt så pluggade han bara på andra sidan helt enkelt där själva vakuum slangarna började istället ( inte slangen ) .. Jo jag har absolut fått Drone/Donande ljud på den i jag skulle säga 2-3k rpm. Framförallt motorväg 105-115 i 7ans växel. Märkte dock att om jag slår över den i Sport så blir det faktiskt betydligt mindre. Har en Fabspeed Sound Symposer delete kit hemma, men läst olika. Vissa menar på att om PSE knappen är avaktiverad så är Symposern det också, så har inte bestämt mig om detta ska monteras eller ej.. Ja vad skönt, jag blev lite orolig med bilen när jag en dag la märke till att den skakade/vibrerade vid kall start ett par sekunder som en gungande känsla lite. Motor/Maskin kunde inte varit bättre till denna typ av bil, har nu rullat 150mil med min, vågar man börja trycka på lite rejält 7-8k rpm stundtals? Mest accelerera upp och sen släppa lite? Om det är ok så kanske jag kan skriva här ibland när det dyker upp frågor, du verkar jäkligt kunnig på dessa modeller och verkar ha ett stort bil intresse. Har tyvärr inte instagram så kan inte skriva där. Sorry för lång text /P

[@ihhh8198]

@@WheelsToys En liten fråga till, om något skulle hända med bilen eller någon auktion ( teknisk återkallelse ) vågar man åka dit med systemet på eller du hade tagit av det innan? Tänker mest för garantins skull, men dom kanske inte bryr sig om typ Apple Car play skulle lägga av för att man har blås på? Tänker mest så dom inte stryper all garanti om något skulle hända :)

[@joelandersson20]

Hi! Will the Air filters from BMC void the Porsche Center/Porsche appproved warranty? Picking up my 718 GT4 tomorrow and have ordered Cargraphic Valve Control Unit. Asked the seller but he couldnt say.

[@WheelsToys]

If you have a problem with the engine or car and need to bring it in I would consider switching back to stock before. But porsche uses these kinds of filters for the 3RS so they won’t be super mad to see them. :)

[@michelmaiffret7619]

Hi can you confirm that the only change is the air filter et the exhaust valve cargraphic?(nothing on link pipe and exhaust? thanks

[@AbdalaBrothers]

ANDREW GARFIELD OWNS A 718 SPPYDER??? OMG SO AWESOME!

[@tobiashemberle8539]

at the back of your spyder you have only the spyder logo without the 718, how did you remove the 718 logo ?

[@WheelsToys]

The whole car is covered in PPF. During the installation they remove the logos. (I think using fishing-line). Then asked them to only reinstall the Spyder part. :)

[@Kam-mv7tl]

I had this done from factory, then painted gold too to match my alloys : )

[@davidz.4777]

Do you think you will have problems When you service your car in the Porsche dealer ?

[@larrycable984]

nope its a valid aftermarket part, Porsche themselves use BMCV filters on the 991 GT3RS

[@kk604852]

It is honestly hard to tell the difference from the video. I certainly wish there is a huge improvement as I’m contemplating on my upgrades. But I thought the main culprit of the poor sound is the GPF and the valves programmed to close between approx 2-4k rpm.

[@flyjbaker]

It is hard to tell on the video but I think what he is getting at is the sound INSIDE the car. I do think I can hear it. These types of videos don’t project sound very well. But it does sound pretty damn good for “stock” exhaust. Anyway, I already have Kline exhaust I may think about this mod next time the car goes in!!!

[@tobiashemberle8539]

Do you have to change 2 filters or just 1? 🙏

[@scottmacdonald2129]

Did you watch the video??

[@horstkretschma8057]

Every Honda with open filter sounds like this

[@bertram-aba991j1]

I wanted to hear the sound of upshifts and downshifts

[@rodneyhawkins374]

That doesn’t sound like the RS to me. It might be louder, but that doesn’t automatically translate to the same tone. The RS engine (and GT3) and a very specific characteristic “howl” that really seems to become more apparent after around 6500rpm and intensifies to redline. The GT4 (and other Porsche engines) doesn’t have this characteristic.

[@jortepap]

Are you deaf?? This GT4 has a sharper, higher pitched intake scream than the 992 GT3!

[@tobiashemberle8539]

whats with your sound right now? :)

[@robferris3506]

How come you sold the spyder ? Why no more updates

[@WheelsToys]

I sold it and bought a GT4 thinking I would drive it more on the tracks but boy was I wrong. Ended up driving it less so I sold it and started to look for another Spyder. So 3 weeks ago in a snow blizzard i brought my new Spyder home. :) as soon as its gotten its PPF it will return to the channel with plenty of more updates. 🥰

[@imperatormouse2735]

Unfortunately those sport filters tend to have lower filtration efficiency than standard paper ones. Also any potential power increases are seen only at high flow levels (= rpm). Better sound yes but more ingress into the engine as well (= more oil contamination resulting in shorter oil and engine life). And then there are some sport filters that need to be moisturized with special oil to reach the claimed filtration efficiency. However, excessive oil may be dragged into the intake system leading to a malfunction of the air-mass sensor and so on. My bottomline, for RS models, yes but on a daily GTS or something....No.

[@HoirkmanS]

This car has no air mass sensor. It's calculating with the pressure inside the manifold.

[@andresmattos7541]

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!!!!!!!!
