Placebo effect. Enjoy the car, but realize your peak power is in the 5800 RPM range.
Its a great looking intake, but the cost/Hp ratio is beyond me.

I respectfully disagree. I think the OP's point, and my experience as well, is that after installation of the intake peak power doesn't level off after 5800, but continues on until somewhere around 6400. See this link:

OP - if you choose to dyno your car it should be easy to do. Just swap out the Dinan lid with the stock air filter lid. Quick and easy, and nothing else changes including atmospheric conditions.
I'd like to see if your results mirror mine.
