Opening the oil cap is going to suck with this airintake, not looking forward to it

The dyno will be interesting....I think the new Renntech airbox would have been a better choice.

Hopefully your dyno shop has enough fans to make a difference...the track would be the best place to test the intake for the actual airflow.

watch out for wear and tear on the lil screws, check your air filter once in a while you will find some screws cought in there.


besides the screws falling loose this product work very well.

I don't have it In my car, My friend has it in his and when we took it off to look at it there were screws missing and some half coming off from vibration I guess.
Nothing to be worried about the product is great just keep a eye on you filter

Can you put a dab of silicone or something on the screws to keep them from coming loose?

Gruppe M has always been top quality product. It is certainly one of the best intakes that is out there on the market. Great choice!

The product looks great. I think that Grupe M needs to focus more on selling an affordable ABS plastic intake. There are a lot of people that don't care or the "carbon fiber looks" and prefer the bang for the buck choice.

Does Gruppe M offer a plastic intake at all?

Ditto. And with the heat that our engines put out, it may discolor some of the resin/clear coat quicker.
