I had it on my old 530, David. Loved it. Made a very noticeable difference. I used Bruce at TT Motorsports, who was our sponsor for a few Meets. You may remember him. He had the Porsche.

I do remember Bruce. Richard was the luck one who got the prize for a free remap from him last time. Can you tell the cost of your remap? PM me if you'd like. Thanks.

Well after calculating from it, my final output was 210 HP. Stock for a 525 is 185HP from the factory.
If you look at the dyno, I gained about ~5HP/TQ with the RPi over the Magnaflow. You see the gains from the RPi exhaust over the Magnaflow which gained about ~20HP over stock.
The black line represents: ECU remap + Magnaflow exhaust + RPi scoop
The red line represents: ECU remap + RPi exhaust + RPi scoop
EDIT: IMO, the gains for 525/530 will be similar. The engine is the same but power output is different.
