Checked their web site and it looks like they only make one for the N62 V8 and not the M62 V8. Bummer, I want one for my 4.6...

Looks good Gurjit, can't wait to hear the sound. The subject of intakes has been debated here to death by some of the most knowledgeable members here, JCL, Weasel and others. I thought the consensus is that they do nothing in terms of adding horsepower and are only for show, do you feel a difference?

They are for show, but they can also produce an intake roar that some like.

I just think it is ass backwards to take off a factory cold air intake and install one that draws heated air from under the hood. If it wasn't drawing in that warm air there wouldn't be any roar.
