Day one where I had a chance to try it out after installing way too late ...

I took it out after work, the immediate thing you notice is how quick you can get up and going, it wasn't subtle it was a big difference to say least so there is a plus. Now I heard some different noises, I say noises cause I definetely determined it was noise and not vibration. I took it all way up to 180KM per hour well over 110mph in translation no weird vibes, rear view and panels all dead quiet in car. Now because what I was hearing was so different and it is truly hard to explain I will call it a more air noise then anything for experiment by suggestion from DSS I rotated it 90 degrees, re tried, then 90 again till I was all way around, YES alot of wrenching on my back lol... In the end the noise or what I thought to hear that was different didn't change... BUT being that there is no vibrations and the acceleration is so dramatic, at least by FEEL then it is all good I'd say.

Im abit of a nancy pants when it comes to different noises, I'm very sensitive have been all my life which really sucks so at this point I am really torn as I love the performance feel improvement but the noise is just sooo different overall, the car is very smooth I'd say. I will give it a solid week of driving and also get on some better pavement over the next week so can better evaluate how I feel about it. I have changed more then a few things on my car simply on how I hear or feel about a sound, not to say anything I have removed was bad just how it affects me overall I suppose.

Anyhow that's all I gotta say about that until I get more time on it, but from a performance standpoint A+ and very much overkill for my needs though lol.
