Again, new GasGas rider here, but the stock filter setup scared me a bit as it is a little finicky to get it installed correctly, you really gotta' pay attention to make sure it's seated correctly and out here in AZ we have this stuff called silt, that will eat anything metallic it contacts. So the local distributor hooked me up with this setup. Much more positive engagement with lip on the airbox, the filter has 5 pins instead of 3. Also a bit longer than the stock plastic cage making it a bit tighter, of course you could probably accomplish the same thing with some shims. And the gold anodizing looks pretty cool. A big thanks to Go-Fasters and Tom @ GasGas Southwest for turning us on to this filter setup.
And that is what a filter looks like that has just been run through an 8 hr endurance race on my son's '09 EC250R.
