Just went for a drive with the new XTB installed....

Wow, i'm impressed. The car pulls a lot harder now. And at every stop light i would chirp my tires without event trying. Throttle response on both streets and highway was very impressive. I like it a lot. I was starting to go a bit too fast around town =P

BTW this was using the stock air box with a K&N filter. I have yet to swap it back to the Intense Performance cone setup.

Well i had the stock airbox in which doesn't growl as much

but i bet the cone setup will make it growl a lot more. It was louder than before i must say. I'll swap the intake later today

Mid range. Since i have the 2.5" exhaust you loose some low end

But i can still feel a difference in the low range. After 3k the car just pulls awesomely hard specially in 3rd. I still need to get the silicon hose kit and swap my MAF just like MFZERO since i have the small bore MAF. But that later on. Now i have to save up to refinish my ABT wheels for the summer.

"chirping tires at every stop" and "pulls a lot harder now" would seem to indicate broad-range...

torque increase. Thats good for me to know especially with the small bore MAF. I have a sneaking suspicion the MAF prevents you from taking too much of a low-end hit with the 2.5" exhaust.
