During the summer, the afe system, might not gain HP, but in the winter around -30c. It defentitly gains HP! Canadians should jump on this!

I personally would hate to invest in something that only shows gains 3 months out of the year

I had an open air cone intake, which will remain un-named, on my 535 and It constantly threw codes: Engine malfunction and reduced power. When I put my stock box back in I had less problems with the car not to mention more power.
