you're not gonna feel it on a butt dyno... your talking maybe 1-3 horse? buts its the collection of mods that results an overall improvement from stock.

Can any Canadian check if this charcoal filter is also on Canadian cars (545i, or 2006 525/530, or 2006 3 series)?
Nope it's not in mine, just checked. Just the "orange one"
