My Ride: 2004 Blacked out 530i, Carbon Fiber Pillars, Carbon Fiber Emblems (Wheels, Steering Wheel and Hood/Trunk). Blacked out kidney Grill, Smoked side marker lights, 15mm Rear Spacers, K&N Filter, Window Tint, Navigon Syst. Breyton Front Lip. Bilistein Coil Over Suspension Front & Rear Droped 1.5" Genuine M5 Pedal set. Mtechnik side skirts, RPI Exhaust.

I installed my RPI Scoop, Sprint Booster and K&N filter today, unfortunately it was 25 degrees in Chicago and when i tried to pull the tabs off my grills, i broke 4 tabs...... But the good news came when i was done with the install.. I took my car out to the expressway and DAMN!!!!! I could definately feel the power. Thanks NeRwEEzy

most dont report back a sound change, some have reported hearing more air flow though. power-wise, its been dyno-proven so there is a gain for sure, roughly about 5-7 whp. to the butt dyno, some have reported actually feeling a difference, most of them reporting at going at higher speeds.
