    Hey Bino, you need to get that silver engine cover painted/plastidipped black. Would really show off that white pipe.

    initial observation.... I would say... No, I haven't really felt anything different... (don't know about the sound because I have my windows close most of the time and radio on)...

    Easy Khoi, that's why I put the "lol" at the end. Just a joke, that's all.

    was the freeway yesterday and floored it... I would say the sound is pretty nice (note that I have the drop-in Tom's air filter)...... not loud but more audible compared to before.... power wise... I would say I really can't tell any difference... but it could have improved it a little (better air flow).......

    If you factor in the cost of this upgrade, it would have to have a pretty good increase to make it worth it from a purely economical viewpoint.
