Hi, someones selling a Tomei UEL in my area and since im already on oft stage 1, im thinking why not? Total price however will hit 900 usd as im in the Philippines so its still quite a spend.

Pros:
1. Ive always wanted better sound but going UEL would hit 2 birds! Sound + power so no need to buy exhaust
2. Makes my OFT more useable
3. I really want better acceleration esp where i drive (below 5k rpm)

Cons:
1. Unlike the exhaust, the sound will be coming from belowish me. Will it be too noisy for DD in traffic? Airflow noises? Rattling?
2. Will i really feel an acceleration difference from stg1 to stg2, worth 900usd?
