I asked in a different thread, and I don't AT ALL mean to be annoying, but this upgrade is really for engine sound quality / fun, right? It's not an engine lifespan increaser, or a HP booster of any note, right?


To the buy:

Could the little silicon hose part be red or black instead of blue?

Isn't there a kevlar version of this item? Any advantage (especially to price)?

Any other VIDEOS of ZHPs with this installed??

A proper short ram intake will help the car breathe better and provide a minor HP and torque boost across the power band. Paired with a properly designed exhaust setup and a tune, it can make a real difference in how the car feels. Paired with OE exhaust, you'll breathe better and have a nice tone. Hp gains may be little but there.

If your setup is OEM, it looks good, sounds good, and can swing the power band a little. If you plan on more aftermarket mods (exhaust) it can be well worth it to invest in a decent short ram or true cold air setup to complement them. Some mods by themselves offer little gain right away.. When you put them together, it can make a real difference.

Something like this is more of a supporting mod than a standalone wonder fix. Doesn't mean that it can't or shouldn't be done on its own. But making a car inhale better is only as effective as it's exhale and vice versa... With a bit more emphasis on the exhale, lol.

That said, this is a highly sought after item in the E46 community. The design is outstanding and is proven to work. Any chance to get one of these puppies at a discount is a good thing. The build quality is great and the eye/ear candy factor is phenomenal. Plus, if you decide to do exhaust and tuning later, you would already have one of the best intakes on the market.

tempting. lots o' money though. need a rip in my aFe-equipped car today to think about it.

the good thing about the GruppeM is that it would give me a lot more room in the engine bay for my catch can setup. hmmm.

Leguna Seca has always been one of my favorite race tracks. So happy it is just up the coast from me now.

When is the group buy taking place potentially? Just got a new job and paychecks are rolling in again.

Going to give this thread roughly a week before we proceed further. However I will give the vendor updates on the feeler to try get some idea on the discount.

my baby has taken wings! not 100% though... good luck you guys

I thought you would be one of the first to sign up because your thread .

Sign me up. But, can you check the price to ship all to 1 address in the US?

Will certainly do so. Shipping is one of the logistics that we need to work on.

Damn you people! I hate you all! Well, my bank account hates you.

Sign me up for one.

I like John's idea, too. Shipping from Oz sucks royally, but we may be able to ship a large carton or two to save significantly on shipping and maybe even get a little bigger discount because they can ship one or two packages to one address instead of 15. Somebody would have the hassle of shipping, but if everybody emailed their own FedEx label to a receiver on the east coast, it wouldn't be a big deal. Just an idear.

I don't mind my house being a HUB to send out the intakes. Good idea on emailing the FedEx label, I will definitely keep that in mind.
