I actually think they made a difference. I am happy... that I didn't pay for them

Default do you have a SS kit? I would go snub check tranny mounts, ss kit, and then DTS.

but trust me, the dts is hawt!

The car feels a million times better, I say this because I ride in it often (before and after all this was done). The mods make a big difference and I strongly suggest them to anyone who enjoys a good driving experience.

Default yup... I noticed a little improvement w/ the snub mount...

but after I swapped in the allroad tranny mounts and new motor mounts it's like a new car again... it's sick! Can't believe how little movement I get out of the drivetrain now when I get on and let off the gas (stick barely moves in comparison to the 1/4" or more it'd move before)

Default errr wrong.

preliminary testing shows some g/s sec gain with the APR inlet hose, and throttle reponse is better.

my testing:
stock hose, 10/27/05, 48deg F, max g/s: 193.67
stock hose, 11/05/05, 69deg F, max g/s: 188.06
APR hose, 11/05/05, 67deg F, max g/s: 192.33

Default Sample size, mean, and standard deviation please. Those results are far within the realm of error.

One test means *nothing*
