Emree's comments on the sound are spot on. I really like how it sounds and I'm considering just leaving the rest of the exhaust stock.

To be honest I didn't notice much of an increase, but I didn't really expect to. The turbo does seem to spool just a bit quicker and it seems to pull better up top. But it is a small difference. I was really just opening up the exhaust so its ready when I decide to get a tune.

Also I got my first SES light over the weekend. It stayed for about a day and a half and then just disappeared on its own. I don't have a scan tool so I don't know why the light came on. But I have a strong suspicion the light was due to bad fuel rather than the DP.

That's a bit disapointing

I hoped that you could feel it being opened up... I'm not interested in a tune right now (warrenty), so it was my way to more HP...

Somebody has to convince me now to why i should buy...
