I find the gains to be minimal. Even if it's 6HP, you aren't going to notice much on a car that's 235HP. I got mine for the looks. Cant argue with the looks. The replacement filters are about $50.

Go AFE , UUC Corsa Exaust and a shark adaptor it will bring your ZHP alive haha!

I just need the exhaust.
I am happy with Shark, and AFE. Been thinking about dyno...but also thinking about waiting until vanos rebuild and exhaust is done.

I had the aFe. It sounded better than the BMW Performance intake that I have. But I'm trying to go for the OEM BMW look on the car. I had no complaints with aFe.

THIS thread over on e46F is a pretty good resource to start when looking for performance upgrades.
The link below is specifically a ZHP with RE pulleys, AA exhaust, and aFe CAI:
