Yes, but you see the wheels every time you walk out to your car.....
How many times are you going to pop your hood? But it's your car, not mine! If you do get the Gruppe M, can you please do a before and after dyno? I would love to see results. Hell, I may even be wrong.

Re: Gruppe M, Anybody get one yet?
did you see what you get? lol you get like 5 parts, all of which (except the airbox itself) cost only a couple dollars and their charging $1,500?
there might even be power loss with the intake let alone any proven agains..
if i were to get the intake it would be purely for sound and nothing else as rarely open my hood.'
seriously over-priced, considering what you get.
i've heard it sounds like you have itb's.. never heard it so i can't confirm.
you can probably either make your own or have one custom made for a hell of a lot cheaper.. i personally refuse to give my money to a company that charges an absurd amount for something so simple. clamps must be made of titanium or something.
i'd bet they'd make a hell of a lot more money if they cut the price in half.. i'd consider getting one then.

Re: If we get 5 it's $1365
still not worth it. good lucking finding the 5..
i bet they sell like 1 intake a month for the rs4 at this price..
guess GruppeM is looking to make a 1000% profit.probably cost them more to have their name engraved on the intake.. yada, yada, yada..

RS4 is a very limited production car
So not that many going to get sold no matter what the price is. I'm sure the cost for R&D and to make the molds was not cheap. I'm just happy someone is willing to take the chance to make something for our cars

Re: RS4 is a very limited production car
i doubt it was that expensive, they aren't new to intakes... more than likely they used the concept from S4 and other Audi's to come up with the rs4 intake.. not much different in the engine bay..
here is the link to the pic of the intake and a dyno via japan.
