Also one needs to buy directly from Dinan if they want to get (earn) the badge as well I think...

You could just buy the badge yourself.

tbh this intake isn't really anything different from the stock box. It just has an extra hole drilled in the bottom of the box that pulls air from the brake ducting. You could just drill your stock box and fit some piping to the ducting yourself for a lot cheaper.

Only reason to get this would be the eye candy of the Dinan logo.

I thought they were NLA, my badThe long tube version is NLA and $250 for a beat to shit used one on eBay. They had great power gains but stopped making them because they didn't fit with all of the various HID setups that were being introduced on the e46 platform.

I wasn't going to pay that much for a beat up tube, so I made my own version and relocated the HID ballast to make it fit, but might go back to a short ram/OE box for the slightly better throttle response. Makes damn good power though.

Is the Dinan box worth it if only 3 of your stock airbox clips are remaining....:eeps

The dinan air box has a tube that goes down to the left air duct and comes with a new, larger top to hold in the filter which is completely different than the stock flat filter
