March 4th 2016 - 114938 miles - Installed Gruppe M intake
As I posted earlier I finally installed the Gruppe M intake after purchasing a replacement filter from this link -

I had a friend of mine look over the old filter that i got with the intake and we both agreed that it would harm the engine as some parts of the filter just had meshing with the filter material completely gone. The vendor mentioned in the link above is in Australia, so shipping took about a week. Surprisingly though the filter was shipped to me by Gruppe M from Japan!
Here are a couple of pictures of the package and the filter before install -
The install went pretty smoothly and took about 10 minutes. I was honestly was expecting the intake to be quite a bit more louder than what it is, but am not disappointed one bit. I now drive with my windows down so I can just listen to the induction noise. As Shawn said, my MPG is taking a hit cause I try to keep the engine at higher revs so I can enjoy the sound, but I am not complaining. Overall quite happy with the Gruppe M intake
