The two graphs provide very valuable information.

1. Stock vs RPI scoop. We did not had any information about any power gains for the 530i with the V1 scoop. The other two 530i owners, NeRwEEzy and Fantastic 5, both have custom scoops thus their numbers were not valid even though gains were reported. Clearly, a gain can be seen from the mid-range to top end with a peak gain of 4rwhp.


2. Stock vs RPI exhaust. Torque and horsepower gains can be seen all throughout with peak hp of 7rwhp and peak torque of 8 lb-ft.

that's EXACTLY what I said! You took the words right outta my mouth Joe!

But seriously, thanks again. I love how it look, sounds AND especially feels!

Not sure I understand what you mean about the "custom" scoops having invalid numbers even though gains were reported?

The custom scoops were one-offs that reported gains. These gains cannot be applied to the V1 scoop that are sold to 545i, 530i, and 525i owners. Al was the first 530i with V1 scoop to have been dynoed that showed a gain for the 530i.

Great gains Al and props to RPI. I would like to get exhaust but I have to pay for new wheels&mods and Christmas is coming up.

**Al, remember to bring the stock exhaust with the tips. I need it badly. The current tips are rusting
