From the guys who have made the plunge for the Dinan CAI:

It does not sound like there is an abnoxious noise increase to the system. Can you describe it?

Do you hear it under normal acceleration, or heavy acceleration, or just during wide open throttle?

Do you think the HP/Torque gains of the CAI and throttle are worth it?

Thanks.

I recently had the Dinan CAI installed and I really can't hear the noise from the intake kit. However, it could be drowned out by my eisenmann exhaust. As for the HP/Torque gain I do feel a lot better throttle response. I wouldn't know if there's a claimed 17HP but I think having a full catback exhaust plus the Dinan throttlebody and the Dinan CAI, you'll get a good amount of HP & Torque gain. Probably would be able to keep up with the 550i.

Choi000, can you take some pictures of your intake? how much did u pay? wondering if that will fit the 550 <_<

I'll take some pics of the intake but in the meantime I believe Dinan also has some pics of the intake on their website.
