Does it feel faster? Well, I wouldn't put it that way. It's less peaky now and had better low end punch from 3200 up to about 5850 and the pull is linear from the bottom up to about 7000 rpm. The gain is not enough to really make you sit back and say zOMG!!!!HI2NEWHORSEPOWAH! Rather, the powerband had been beefed up and the car given a little strength training. I admit, the sound is intoxicating even w/o the downpipes being installed. It really goes from baritone, tenor to alto but not quite to a sporano pitch through the rev range. A few have asked about resonance, and this system is the best at defeating is as any I've had or heard. The only area is from 1600 to 1900 and the car spends very little time in the area. With the windos up and the air on, its only slightly louder than stock. My suggestion however, is windows down and foot to the floor. It's loud and fear inducing.

I give two solid thumbs up to Milltek and Pete@Stratmosphere.

Alto is lower than soprano, but I got what you are saying.

Sweet, isn't it? You'll notice that it "feels faster" after the downpipes.
