Same here. For the money, I would just stick with their awesome filters & call it a day. The S-58 inhales much smoother with the restrictive factory units removed. But that's just my .02 cents.

It's all show. No go.
No additional perceivable gains.

That was my conclusion too after watching the video on their webpage about the intake.
Looks great, but no real changes as the OE design is actually very good. I did order a set of their filters to replace my OE filters (19k miles).

I put in the filters to gain some additional sound but I couldn't really tell a difference. Maybe slightly. On other models, some people report a more aggressive intake note with the carbon fiber housing, but I'm not sure that's the case on the F97. The stock intake is just good.

It's all show, no go. Period. End of story. Even if it gave you a +5hp increase, you wouldn't even be able to tell with a gain that small.
That aside… it looks amazing!!
