Would the mtech or M3 front bumper really be beneficial b/c of the larger mouth. Currently i'm running the stock coupe bumper. Would i really get that much more air to the IC with a different bumper? Would it make a difference performance wise?

Do you have the old or new TE IC?

Would you believe when we dyno-ed my car with the old IC, there was a ~10 rwhp gain when we removed my bumper? Amazing but true. I also posted IC temp differential data a while back.
