yes, but the only difference is AIRFLOW. more airflow better. that is why I made a dual intake (DINAN alike but with AFE).... the car is double aggressive.

I like how double intakes (afe) your get double aggressive. Based on this theory, triple intakes, tripple aggressive. Screw $8000 superchargers, im just going to add 10 warm air intakes. Wait, I will run like a 1.6L civic than right... rofl decreased hp ftw via AFE

My Ride: E60 M5
I see where 530ISPORT is coming from. There are many (did I say many?) guys that run exhaust setups known to lose HP, but they just don't care because they like the sound so much. Different Strokes for Different Folks. I, for one, will not install anything that makes me lose any hp... no matter how good it sounds. If it were proven to have 0 gains, and I like the look/sound... I'd do it... but not at the sacrafice of even 1 or 2 ponies.
Some (a lot) of people put on heavy aftermarket wheels because they like the looks. They will knowingly sacrafice acceleration, braking, handling, ride, etc for looks. Though I hate aFe and all their FALSE claims, I can't disagree with someone that knows all the facts and still believes that the trade-off is worth it. It's all a comprimise at the end of the day.
