Its for 3.2 and 3.6L with similar gains plus I prefer it being a non oiled filter as well but you can get oiled also.

EDIT. Plus I have been quoted $419 shipped US

is that $419 in USD? or AUD delivered?

the gruppem is about 1,000 AUD delivered.

approx $419USD = $513.06AUD.....thats pretty good value. (if including all duty/taxes etc)

Yep its under $1000 AU so thats the price
Probably going to order one for myself in a week or so

Before you spend your cold hard cash on air intakes - consider the legalities - To the best of my knowledge, it is not legal in any state to have an exposed airfilter - in this case - it is exposed under the bonnet (And its pretty obvious when its opened for inspection!).

If you can use one that is fully enclosed, then you negate this problem - always check with your local authorities first!

All air filters have to be exposed in some way or they wouldn't get any air.

Its not an issue to have an exposed airfilter but it is an issue to have no filter at all - this is to do with emissions more than anything else.
There are no regulations (In NSW at least) that stop CAI other than they must not degrade the emission spec of the original vehicle.
So unless its in the inside original airbox ANY inspection station will spot a CAI inc the gruppe m - they are not really that stealth when it shouts - LOOK AT ME, I AM CARBON FIBRE!!!
So the issue would be more a warranty / manufacturer voided issue not a legality issue I feel unless you are being silly and the cops decide to be annoying and try to defect it by checking your vehicle over. :)
