    Of course, I wouldn't bother ordering from them:

    so where do you mount that horn like device? up against the headlights? That looks like a carbon wrapped fiberglass mold.. looks nice.

    Realistically, nothing. It looks cool It'll give a nice roar over the stock airbox, but that's about it.

    Wish they had carbon fiber for the fan shroud and other misc plastic parts. That plastic don't hold up too good on these old betty's.

    Besides the roar, I wonder about extra dirt, any hissing noises, and if the finish on the heatshield wears with the heat. The carbon finishes don't last too long and compared to plastic I like the durability of plastic. I am not against the Carbon fiber ones as I have a Dinan tube in my e39. I also tried 5 different intakes including custom ones when I had the M50tu engine. Not worth the money for street and if only used for the track, the look isn't a subject anyways.

    For the e34, I finally stopped getting all these little things and just concentrated on achieving that S38. The "M Power" looks much better than any carbon fiber.
