Have you seen the price of the GrouppeM? That friggin thing is like $1800, ridiculous for the "gain" it claims.

If you can find the Simota, it's not a bad intake. Looks good and there's a good amount of heat shielding to prevent heat soak.

However, we were forced to drop the Simota intakes because of the difficulty of sourcing them. IIRC they were all discontinued anyhow.
