You know it's BS when it says "up to 35hp gain". Yeah. Sure.

I'm just sad. How could we be so stupid? Paying for $300 tunes for 10hp when the real performance gains are here...

I've been duped.

I actually ordered 3 of them. Gonna push past 500hp and kill M5s at red lights!

Killer. Hopefully they come with stickers... guaranteed HP increase. Zhpmafia ones themselves are +10 iirc, these s/b +30.

Lol, reminds me of the good old fast and furious days when an intake would add 15 hp.
