I love the Dinan. I've had mine for over two years and still love the sound. I agree they all probably return the same performance when coupled with catback and pulley, but the sound, oh the sound! On the track it sounds like a jet engine!

Its been pouring here since I got the car back and put on the DINAN. So haven't really been able to open her up. But with the JCW head, 380cc Injectors, DINAN ECU tune and CAI, I'm really looking forward to a sunny day.

I think the Dinan CAI is way cool. I actually like the thottle body/intake noise.

I think Dinan says the CAI makes about 8hp, but I think that is with their ECU remap which for me is a little pricey...Thanks again for the infor.

I went ahead and got it as I was under warranty--5k miles at the time. There is a noticeable difference. Most people that drive my car say that I have more torque than they expected. These days with most of the G1's running out of warranty, I don't really think there is a point unless you have an extension or something.
