And BTW, I am American Caucasian of German descent not Pinoy. I put the Pinoy banner in my Sig as a joke but I wouldn't give a shit if someone was purple or green or Pinoy, I care about the character of the individual in question.

The dyno fans that these guys (whoever they are) were using for the RPI scoop is considerably smaller:
I'd still like to see a graph of the same car with a data logger capturing the voltage of the MAF and intake air temperature with and with out a scoop [DIY or professional] while driving at speed.

I think YOU need to reread the thread. RPI did NOT attack you or Ellicit. RPI defended their product and explained R&D that went into developing a scoop that produced HP gains.
And BTW, I am American Caucasian of German descent not Pinoy. I put the Pinoy banner in my Sig as a joke but I wouldn't give a shit if someone was purple or green or Pinoy, I care about the character of the individual in question.

Hey, totally off topic but is your car lowered? If not, can you post some clear pics of your car in your photo album?
I want to see exactly what the car looks like sitting on 166's without being dropped.
thanks

LOL, RDSport copied RPI's 335 intercooler, and dinan decided to put scoops on their e60m5 CAI after Eloy should the benefits of it... I am not here to knock on you anymore because performance differences will show... BTW I am not trying to hide behind any Screen name... My name is Mychael Hamner or myke951 on some forums such as mfest and m5board and others... You can check my myspace if you want...

not this shit again!!!! LMFAO!!!
I just searched for this "deranged" guy's posts and found his 166 thread.
From what I gather, his car is stock height. The car look just fine to me
"not lowered".
I don't understand why people are making a big fuss on lowering a car.
The car looks just good "as is".
Or I'm just getting old.
I would be willing to be 9 out of 10 guys on here who claim that "lowered looks better"
are under the age of 30......5-ish.

There is a difference between the two. And stock-sport is a bit lower ...
