I have the stock airbox with BMC filter and RPI scoop back on. Gosh, I remember when I first got this combo put on and boy did I love it... Once I got the aFe prototype put on... even sweeter...

The prototype housing has been sent out to be manufactured... aFe will install the sample "actual" housing in the car in about 2 weeks... Soon thereafter, production models will hit market.

So far dyno runs show at least 12-15 hp gains... with RPI scoops.
10-12 without Scoops. They are using the "mustang" dyno which is pretty conservative...

I will update more once I get the car back.... gosh I miss the growl and power....

Wow that's a very big gain from intake on this motor. I can't wait to see the dyno sheets and hear some sound clips. Thanks for the update.

I'm excited about this product - can't wait to hear some vids of it! I love the sound of an intake on our cars.... does it sound anything like sixspeed's M coupe with the gruppe-m intake(there are some vids. on youtube)? Love that sound...

RPI Scoops= 10-12 hp
RPI scoops+ AFE intake= 12-15 hp
RPI scoops alone yielded 10-12 hp...
2-3 hp gain with the afe CAI...
and on a mustang dyno? have them try it on the Dyno dynamics dyno machine...

You got me all excited over this... let these guys know that they have one pre sold already..... all they have to do is let me know where to send the money! I was going to buy the gruppe m but $900 seems like alot of money to me. If this intake is on par with the price of the M3 one I will be able to buy it and a set of GC sways!

I'm guessing that this intake will also work for Non-M Z4's ( 06+ )?

So far the intake is ONLY for the M's... aFe should have the NON-M's already out for sale...

AFE does NOT make an intake for the 06+ non Z4M they make one for the pre-06 non-z4m with the M54 engine. As mentioned earlier in the thread, i was talking to AFE R&D about it but they never got back to me.

Maybe a good time to do some real world testing since you have the rpi scoops, AFE intake and Stromung exhaust...let's set up something soon while my car is still stock except for the scoops...
