Nice setup. No doubt AFE makes quality intakes! Although, i doubt that you can make 27HP on the dual cone setup on a stock N54. It will be nice if you can do a before and after dyno to prove those numbers.
Didn't you notice any low end torque loss? It was noticeable when i installed the dual cone intakes on my car. Also, you have to really step on the gas to hear those turbos spool with your windows down. Can't hear them in a closed cabin. Just sharing my personal experience and i'm wondering if you experienced the same.

Jesus...between the Dinan Remap and an AFE Intake, you got yourself quite a beast. It almost makes you wonder if it's worth getting a 550...
There are other tunes that get much better hp numbers than Dinan, for less money.

No reason to get the Dinan flash. The main reason to pay the Dinan markup is because of the warranty. It clearly states in the Dinan warranty, not to use unauthorized aftermarket parts. If you go Dinan, you should use only Dinan parts. Earn your 10 points and get the Dinan badge.
