Your remus exhaust is losing HP, i havent seen a dyno from them that shows gains yet. Maybe its out there but I havent seen it.

LSD is a great choice too, Quife makes one that seems to be very popular.
yea LSD sounds good man

did anyone count how much he spent on the carbon fibre hood and trunk?
are you sure you are getting real dry cf or is it cf reinforced plastic?? 15lbs reduction????

i don't think the Gruppe M is a retarded purchase, maybe you are just jealous man,i have one of those scoops and K&N but it doesn't make too much difference, however i know that the Gruppe M makes a sexy sound, enuf to justufy usd2000 i think so, i paid now equivalent USD2600 for my Arqray quad, at least i know it is made in-house at Fujitsubo's main factory
and the quality is perfect, i think the Remus is also good quality.
i haven't heard of rpi outside this forum, is it a big tuning company like Dinan/AC etc?? how many exhausts do they make a year?
did they take the cars to be independenty Dyno tested??
i know some people make some money flogging/selling/promoting some items here, very industrious it is as it keeps everyone modding, and i salute it,
but don't get too cocky and slag off Gruppe M products, these are the truffle chocolates in our candy store man!!!!

RPi is a smaller company and they are US based and manufacture all of their products stateside. That's what I like about them

I don't think their exhaust production numbers are very high, no where near Magnaflow or companies like that, but the quality is amazing and they carry a Lifetime warranty

A very expensive CAI, approx USD 2000
There is really no point in putting $2,000 intake on a 530i.

why not?

a 530i costs about USD91000 in HK (before the mods), so it's not like its a high% of the value,
why do you feel a 530i is not worthy of a 2000dollar mod???
