awesome vids. well done. can you discuss how the sound is in the cabin? I am sure it is great under full throttle, but what about daily driving or highway driving? Any drone or annoying noise to it? Thanks!
PS - more vids! ;-)

Even tho I drove the car for almost 1k km since the install I cannot tell you how it sounds on the HWY now. It was pretty quiet the 1st day after install when i drove on highway (AC on, Windows up) When you press the pedal you can hear it but holding it in once spot it was quiet. I havent floored it on HWY tho. With that being said PE is allot louder now after break in, so I have no idea about HWY now. I just dont get to drive the car much. Only on small home streets which are up to 3d gear. Grocery and back. Im enjoying the bubble pop so much on lower speeds right that i could care less about pressing the gas hard to red line or going very fast. Which I did once (redline 1st gear) n it was awesome. I had such a big smile. but again, i cant redline my car on small steets every time so only been ones. May be ill make more vids on the weekend, busy with work right now.

Holy crap that sounds amazing. I am sold - if I were in a position to pony up for it right now. Any change in throttle response? Have you notice the occasional slight loss of power some dynos have reported?

Ohh and no drone, from what i know what drone means.
R12ax7, yes i did. I think on second or third day I did notice low end torque and better throttle response. I could feel it. Of course it doesnt pusg you into the seat like a 335 does but I could feel the change. At first I thought it was mental until I read N/A Section thread that someone noticed the change too. Honestly I just wanted a new mod on the car and better sound. As i said in other thread ive heard tons of PEs on NAs at meets but I didnt care until i got my own. When its your own car sounding like that you cannot imagine how it makes you feel. Becomes so much more special. Now I listen to other PEs and compare, like and enjoy the sounds. I was smiling so much and couldnt stop when i was at the dealership lol. Def a Huge change in sound and i had no idea that it would be that nice. I wasnt looking for power or crazy ass sound. After all its not a 335 with boost or a Vette with thunder sound but for what the PE does is more then amazing to me.
