Finally got my K&N intake yesterday, got it installed, took about 35 minutes. The harderst part was getting the stupid rubber thing around the heat shield lol. Notice much better throttle response, that dbw delay is pretty much gone. Feel a lil bit more power around town, but really notice it when im on the freeway or above 4500rpm.

Nice! Did you adjust your tune any?

I'm aware of the "no tune required" pitch for the K&N, but I'm wondering if you did any tweaking...

Well, the MMR claimed "No tune required" We ended up adding like 18% fuel across the board to straighten things out! LOL!

Good luck at the track!!!

Also had a local shop put on a dual flowmaster exhaust. They put on a true dual... I'm not sure if this is what I want... they did the whole thing including awesome chrome tips (after I did the cut on the bumper) for $350. I thought this was a good deal. The pipes sound absolutely fabulous. I can't drive anywhere that doesn't have heads snapping around at that "nasty rumble out of flowmasters" sound. I definitely feel more pull and it sings out the back... now of course I have the loud rumble about 2k to 2300 rpm, but I guess thats what I'm paying for.
