I love it!! It pulls amazing from a dead stop. No longer to I have that bogging when hot from a dead stop. At full speed, the car pulls harder and takes less gear to pull hills. I'm even thinking about better gas mileage but I need to do more R@D (driving) time to say for sure.

I can't say enough. M7 has really done a great job with the DFIC!!

It works great I made an aluminum bracket and mounted an Alta spray head at the center of the DFIC...it is connected to the rear wiper fluid pump...extra help to shed heat soak during stopped traffic...

Was red...now silver...

Thats the way mine came but I did adjust them a bit - I focused on ensuring there was good seal on both sides. On theleft side (facing car) I found the diverter if perfectly vertical touched the scoop screw so my left side is slightly flaired out.
