Its a 7whp swing. If you make the scoop wrong, you WILL lose power (watch DIY people. hehe). The 2whp is on our Dyno Dynamics machine. On a Dynojet, the gains will be 5whp.

Everyone who has ordered prior to our dyno session will receive a free replacement. Trinity is an authorized dealer so those who bought from them will get the replacement as well.
cool!

What are the power gains for the M5 with the scoops, filters and your pulleys? I have all 3 and am curious to know how much faster my car is. Hahahaha!

So total additional rwhp is around 29 on the low end, 38 on the high end?

If that's the case, screw the flux capacitor kids. I'm going back to the future with RPI!

BIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAA!!!!

And these numbers don't even include the race cats or exhaust! A remap is definitely in order. I'm sick of the car not going beyond 155mph. It's so annoying. It's constant aggravation. Hahahahaha!

I tape it between the screws (I actually covered up the screws too )and the mouth of the entrance. I don't know why but mine had like a 1/2cm difference (not completly flushed as per the picture posted by rpi).I rubbed it down and its completely flushed...if you need some I can cut a few strips and send it to you. Its silver but I painted it black and you can't hardly see it....best of all its waterproof..
Got 'em Roy! Thanks

I guess by now it is best to wait for V2 ...hopefully by end of next week...and hopefully it will not need the tape, but i believe some cars have a different variation of connection...who knows you might need it to flush it better....mine definately has about a 1/8 variance.
