Yes, simple as taking off your grill, taking off the restrictive dam to the OEM ram air... installing the RPI scoop and reinstalling the grill...

For the skeptics.............
I want to thank Earl for taking the time to come down and see for himself.........
Earl and I talked a while ago and he was asking me about the scoop. Anyways, he came today and we did a bunch of dyno pulls, etc. You can see the hp and tq difference between having the ram air and not. These tests were done WITH THE STOCK AIR FILTER. Earl is STILL using the stock filter so NO FILTER was changed. NO BMC, No K&N, bone stock. You can also see that removing the charcoal filter does little to nothing w/o the ram air set up as with ram air, there was only a 1-1.5whp gain. The best thing about all this was that we ran the car over and over again on the dyno with heat soak. Even Earl asked me if I wanted to open the hood and let the car cool down a little. I said, "no, I love to underate our gains." Its not uncommon for companies to let the car sit for 30 minutes or an hour so the car would cool down before dyno testing their product. Maybe Earl can chime in but I dont think we let the car rest even 5 minutes between pulls. |

The BMC filters are produced in italy and they cost about 55,-€ (81,60$) in a normal german store. So you think 193,78$ for the scoop is a killer price?

The important thing here is that we track the gains on the same car, on the same day. The number is really just a number. We have had MANY customers who have dynoed at 260whp that have given the whoopass to those who have dynoed 300whp+ on other dynos. |

I was at RPI today and spent a good deal of the day there. ANyone with a NON-M Z4 want to help with the R&D on the scoops, contact Eloy directly at the number above. He will custom fab a prototype scoop and test it out... Call him on Monday since he won't be in on Saturday... thats the latest guys..
