Anyone have the RPI ram air scoops or the AFE ones? Any comments? They make any difference?

They will not make a difference - especially on a car that pulls in air at >10 PSI.

That said, I had them on my non-turbo BMW (where they have a slightly better chance at doing anything) and I just bought them for my N54 as well. Just makes me feel better; it's a placebo kind of thing
