I predict that it will do well under dyno testing conditions. But when you're driving it in traffic or regular street, it might suffer and has some loss (may or may not be noticeable). But of course, that won't be shown in the result.

There is a problem with the driver side. You have some lines there that are hard lines. Im gonna keep looking at it to see if there is something I can do but the design would be pretty complicated which would increase the cost significantly.

had to relocate the horn, i guess that's common for aftermarking intake system. I should just take them off since i don't use them and it's adding un-necessary weight! seems like redirecting the air to the driver side intakes is more work then anything.

once the intakes are in and it see gains that are promising, i can then suggest moving on to the exhaust systems. They fabricate their exhaust for their bmws and no importing so a lot of labor, he told me a exhaust system for the G could be priced up to 2k. I'll talk to the owner more when the intakes are done. But looking how complicated the intake is he might be scared of the G and stick with the BMWs :P

Are the results in? Dyno?
Exhaust price at 2k from labor? Importing should be the more expensive method. Fabricating in house should be cheaper. Maybe they're used to pricing things for the Euro market.
