Has anyone ever used this air filter?

Look like a good alternative (and much cheaper then the over priced BCM). Looking for input...Pipercross or stock style is not an option.

You cannot beat the price.. I wonder how well they seal at higher speeds? I could see them leaking air around the front and back where there isn't any plastic screws..

Are you going to get a set?

By the way.. How is the 996?

Looks like you actually reduce the filter area by a factor of 2 or so from a stock filter (or close to it, anyway... It's a guess...). What gains do you expect to get from these? More filter area?
More air flow?
Cost?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I want to better understand why to use these.

And, sorry, I plead ignorance... why not Pipercross or stock? (Don't even know Pipercross) and I've found that stock doesn't suck...

We used to sell those many years ago.
We used to get a lot of complaints about sealing.

The 996 is fabulous. Rock steady dependable, and hot-roddable (I'm a gear head), which is something I like.

In my situation, it's because I have oversized air runners with no provisions for stock style (pipercross) air filters. If I had a choice, Pipercross would be the filter to use.

Thanks for the heads up. What do you recommend for oversized runners? I don't feel like spending $200 on BMC, that's just ridiculous to me for air filters.

Pipercross makes an in box filter that mounts to the walls of the airbox. That looks like it has a very good seal and a lot more filter area.

Pipercross air filter kit : 748/916 Induction kit

It is $159 if you use the Motowheels passwords.

I have not tried this one yet but it looks like it would perform much better than the BMC or the Ducati Only filter.

Those are huge...that's gotta take up some major room in the airbox...
