I don't know about 15HP just from an intake.

Here are my opinions right now...

Mugen - decent gains, looks good but have to cut hood and not sure if it will work 100% using the OEM bumper.

J's Racing - has the Tsuchinoko chamber, looks good, better gains than the Mugen but have to cut hood and drill into the radiator support.

GruppeM - bling bling, doesn't look like it requires any physical modification to the car, very rare but performance is unknown. I have emailed GruppeM Europe requesting more information. I do have their intake and exhaust for my M3 and I'm a big believer in their products, definitely high quality stuff.

ASM - ultimate bling but performance is unknown and the price is ridiculous.

I've never heard you have to drill the radiator support? for what purpose?
