Yes you will gain HP/TQ. The scoop is tested at 70mph so you will start feeling it around 60mph.
Thanks for the info. But it would be cool if you also added in, it adds XXHP and XXtorque.. Or maybe direct me and others to the website with more details.

Anyway, if it only helps at 60+ mph I don't see how this is useful or a must have mod.. could someone enlightened me?

I should have bought the red one. I guess I can paint mine. If I paint mine, how much do you charge for RPI sticker Trinity?

Frank - Did you change the filter with RPI scoop?
Just kept my stock for now, Xman. I will probably change to K&N when my BMW maintenance program ends.

Well I think with the red ones there is a white RPI sticker that goes on them.

Is that why the red one is more expensive than the black one?
