I was wondering if anybody installed Dinan's Intake System and Throttle Body in their cars. If yes what difference did you notice in the performance??

I haven't, but my guess is you'd go slightly faster, since your wallet will be a lot lighter ...sorry couldn't help myself...

And they raised the exhaust price--from $999 for the 540i to $1,399 for the 545i. :thumbsdown:

That's a great idea!

BERM,
I'm actually waiting in line to get all three of their performance products. Znod already has the throttle body and he's supposed to get the CAI by mid January.

The hp gain and torque gain looks pretty good to me.
