I have it.  I like it.  It cost's $225 from Turner Motorsports.  It took me
about 5 minutes to put in.  Don't pay anyone 1 hours labor and don't pay
$300.  You are getting ripped off.

Now for the chip.  It's smoother down low and feels a little torquier,
although I've seen dyno's on it that contridict their claims of 48 extra HP
@ 6k and thirty-something extra lb-fts at something like 5.3k.  Still worth
the money because it makes your car run better and around town drivability
is a lot smoother.  I don't know anything abou the Dinan chip.

Hope this helps.
