I have a pair...I noticed a difference in mpg thats for sure...and they look no different then the others if ur doing it for looks. And my bro has M6 and he has RPI scoops and he's just like can anybody notice 5-10hp at 70mph???? I would like somebody to dyno...but I like the concept of the cyba scoops having lil slits for rain. And considering the over heating issues we are all susceptible too $39 for scoops is awesome. I would use that money for RPI scoops and put it to DCI
