I suppose for those that want the sound though, the Simota-branded versions will be more affordable than a GruppeM.
But from E46 experience, these types of intakes can and do heat soak; all at the cost of sounding great.
They heat-soak when ur stuck in traffic. As soon as you start moving (I.e track duty) your AIT's are the same as any other intake including stock. "Heat-soak" is thrown around far too much
