Sometimes I question their dyno graphs, you see the graph for their throttle body spacer? 10hp / 7ft-lb seems a little too good to be true for this sort of mod, but who knows.


Gruppe M has an intake for our car but when it comes down to it, if the OE system is as efficient as can be, no real gains will be had from this mod. These days, manufacturers often do great jobs at OE intakes so only real upsides can be cooler air, a bit more responsiveness, sound, etc. rather than peak gain. There may be a potential system that can gain power but I don't think the intake is the bottle neck in the OE motor system.


I do want to pick up that aFe intake scoop though
