I'm on the fence...knowing that I'm flowing more air is good (I have the 'dry' version), but really didn't notice a gain anywhere or hear anything.

Of course, I can't hear anything over the Eisenmann Race so that really isn't fair.

For $80 though, plus RPI scoops (esp. if you got the 'cheap' ones posted earlier), it'll prolly meet/beat the Gruppe-M for less than 10% of the cost.

Anyway, just wanted to share...

i've got one too. can't really tell a noticeable difference...but then again its just an air filter. i get solace in the fact that i know more air is getting where it needs to be.
