Smile New Dinan CAI installed
Got the Dinan Cold Air Intake installed on Thursday... Definitely worth the wait! There is a noticable increase in available torque all throughout the RPM band - but particularly around 3500-4500. Feels just like a 4.8 now
Oh, and the engine REALLY growls now... I went to the dealer for my 15,000 mile service yesterday, and when it was done and I started her up out front, people from inside the showroom walked out to come check her out.

Question on Intake?
AFE or Dinan CAI? Also How much was the CAI and where did you purchase it from?

Yeah, I think you'll be pleased Tony. After driving with it for a few days now, I am starting to appreciate the improvement more and more... (maybe the stock ECU took several miles to remap itself properly to maximize the increase in air...?) Feels like it pulls much more strongly above 3000 rpm. I imagine it will be better yet when Dinan releases their s/w to match it.
By the way, the sound is noticable at all RPMs. I don't hear a loud suck sound like you can with some intake kits, but that's probably because it's so well enclosed and buffered from the engine (to keep the air cooler, of course).

It looks like a great design. I'll post some pics...
