I dont believe in "feeling" the difference with bolt on mods because although they can yield some gains the placebo effect also comes in to play big time to try to justify those $500 we spent that only gained us 7whp.

I feel like it gets up and moves quicker when I get on it that's for sure! And the sound is awesome! Uploaded a video to photobucket. This link should work...

Had to replace one bolt, but all the rest were good. Whole job took maybe an hour start to finish. So happy with my decision to go with excelerate performance products. Everything is perfect.

Not sure of my next move... probably saving some cash the next couple of months after that spending. But I was thinking maybe really holding the money for awhile and getting a super charger next spring.

Since I mindfucked you already, I would just for peace of mind.

ref this thread for the plastic being cut a bit.

Not really. I mean, nothing that bothers me and the cruising sound is pretty subtle.
