Uploading! ...very slowly...

BTW, I figured out how to change the camera to 1080p, so I may do another (or some drive bys) later. The mic on this thing is absolutely horrible, though.

My pleasure.

I just took it out for another hour long spin through Laguna Beach. I just love the way it drives now, even though it's not much different from stock.

Injen put a Hydroshield pre-filter on the dry filter in the air box, since the opening is right next to the bumper (protection from water getting into the filter). I have an unpainted heat shield cover right now, as they didn't have any of the black in stock, but they'll be replacing it for me soon... probably when I go back to get the production midpipe and catback installed.

Yeah, they finished it. It looks gorgeous.

If its not that much different than stock, what do you love about the way it drives now? Is the top end a little punchier?

The Throttle response across the band feels improved, subjectively; the intake sound is noticeable under heavier acceleration and provides a more visceral link to the car; and the power up top is very noticeable.

Sounds good. Just making sure my purchase will be worth it. I think the added growl and top end pull will be worth it for sure. Especially once I couple it with an exhaust and tune...

yeah after re-looking at the dyno graph, its actually not that bad on the low end. It doesnt really make any gains, but it looks alot smoother, AND it definitely proves it worth on the top end.

thanks for the videos
