J levi says it has a 27 hp increase? Is this proven for the 525i? I am really suprised.
If I cant sell my 525i...I'll definetly do some engine mods including ecu upgrade...exhaust... etc but I highly doubt an intake alone can add 27 base horsepower. My lexus had a powerful intake that added 10 bhp.
Any input would be appreciated thanks.

I see you have it. I dont understand why J levi would lie about that and say they have proven gains.

Hi Guys,
I just checked on the product page and it looks like the description was in fact incorrect. There was certainly no attempt to mislead, it was a simple mistake by our webmaster

Thank you for alerting us. I have a habit of copy-pasting and sometimes when we upload 20-30 products at once, One of them evades me in the Excel sheet and I don't edit it!

Senza007 - I'll sell you mine but there is no hp gain as far as I know.
...how much?I talked to some guy over at J levi an hour ago and he said it was done on a mustang dyno. He said it will give you around 15hp. Probably will do better with a full exhaust and ecu upgrade.

Make me an offer (I paid $278 a month ago).
Did they do it with hood opened or closed? Big difference.
