There is a CAI thread w/ a poll asking if anyone actually felt a difference or if it was placebo from spending the type of money $$Dinan$$ charges. It has some interestingly replies...mostly along the lines of no and that it only sounds louder.
I think the biggest problem is they do one or the other...software or physical mods, when in fact they should be installed together as a system.
For me. I installed a pre-VANOS intake manifold for $50 from a wrecked 7 series...the same one $$Dinan$$ sells for well over $1000. Paired w/ some www.powerchipusa.com software and its a whole different machine. Next is a BBK setup yanked from a 750I'll for $200...anyone wanna guess what $$Dinan$$ charges?
