GruppeM .... And expect a low end loss ....

I heard that changing air intake won't make a diff, if we are talking about using it in SG.


Although, well, another angle is it does look nice!

I would say depend on your setup.
In my old ride there is 3 groups. One on gruppe m, bmc n open pod stock.
I wanted good low mid range n I stuck to bmc which was great. The other 2 I lost my low n even it was a 2 vtec I lost to corolla taxi or even 1.4 cars but caught up after 80kmph... After I changed to bmc I felt that was the best mod. Now I prefer stock with drop in.

I was on stock filter, then BMC and my current setup is simota aerofoam. Im not gona comment on the mythbuster air intake video as i swear experiencing better pick up on my current setup.

If u look at our stock setup, of the 2 air inlet, 1 of them is a dummy. Sad to say, GrupM (specifically for 320) is following the same concept. Simota aerofoam on the otherhand have a 2 inlet setup. Layman knowledge wil tell u more air = better combustion = more power.

So, if u need to choose btw GrupM n Simota for our 320, the latter would be more ideal. Btw, my simota is fr a bro here who previously have both GrupM n simota on his 320. He sold his GrupM to get his simota and eventually sold off his simota to me wen he changed his ride.

I thought CF can take high temp .... simota got problem.....

My fren's simota semi melted.....

it's all about quality
CF being CF all things equal of course good la ... lambo and ferari got CF to cover their sibei high temp engine but if the CF is low quality perhaps even fake CF like overlay nia ... of coz no good la

GruppeM is sibei expensive is also due to its quality and brand not just bcos of CF material

Layman also need to know, more hot air = drop in power

so if its a ram air setup still ok .... But if its a pod setup ..... Low end loss ....

It's not melted per say, but you can see it seriously deformed and wavy to the max after his tracking session...
