I have the Dinan Cold Air Intake and the Stage 3 chip. I gotta say its not instantly noticeable, like first through 4th gears feel somewhat the same, but its in the key RPM range of abou 3200 - 7200 that it jsut feels like it has more get up and go. It DEFINEATLY adds torque in 5th and 6th gears, and makes the supercharger whine noticeably louder, it truely sounds amazing and I always fly through my gears to 6800 RPM (despite the redline being moved to 7200 with the chip) all the time now because it STILL months later brings a smile to my face to hear it go. I'll tip my hat towards it being worth it (but really consider the CAI as well). Plus its covered under factory warrenty (if that is needed or not).
