Gruppe-M purchase! & review w/ pics

[Mattski_VTIR]

As the revs climb over 3500rpm to 5500rpm at full throttle there is a definite raw coming from the intake, as it hits 6000rpm though it screams all the way to rev limiter. I find the intake is only "loud" at low revs when under heavy load

Sounds more responsive - what exhaust do you use?

[Mattski_VTIR]

I would say that the intake has definitely helped with throttle response at the moment i'm currently running stock exhaust! Still waiting on a full Toda exhaust to arrive (hopefully be here soon)

Do u notice a bit more power as well?

[Mattski_VTIR]

I would say there is definitely an improvement made in the higher rev range (7000rpm through to redline) The engine revs more freely and seems to pull harder (again only in the top end of the rev range) I think a more noticable gain would be made once the engine is freed up from the standard exhaust. (by this i mean i believe they will better complement each other as the engine is still choked up by stock header etc) Once i get the exhaust i might install the standard air box to do a better comparison between the two.

I payed wif Credit Card, its safer I think. if you dont get your purchase they investigate and pay you back.

I got an S and it always has done 400 - 450 only once on a long trip on Shell V-power did i even get close to 500.

My Belief is that BP Ultimate = More Power(torque-i-er) Shell V-Power = more Km's

[Mattski_VTIR]

Personally i didn't see any noticeable change in fuel consumption with the intake.
