GruppeM intake installed - piCs!

Daft · Sun, Jul-20-2003, 08:37:01 PM

The install went pretty well, easier than i expected. Started up the engine praying that nothing will go wrong or get any warning lights... and there was none. Great!

Then went for a test spin. Noticed nothing at low rpm's. Then after 4krpm i notice it's a bit louder. I would like to say i feel a power gain but it's probably just due to being louder. Overall i'm very satisifed with it. It looks so cooooL!

I said i felt like there was a power gain but it could just be an illusion since it is louder. Manufacturer claims crank 15hp gain and i've seen a before/after dyno with it just installed on someone elses M3 that got a 12rwhp gain so that's not bad..
