I believe it. I was always skeptical when people said "I did a CAI and I can really feel it!" But over the weekend I did plugs and a new air filter (which was completely clogged) and I could tell the difference. The throttle response was snappy and I can now hear the air getting sucked into the motor and it does have a louder growl in the upper rpm range. I also had the negative battery terminal off for 2 days so I was thinking that the adaptations may have been reset or something because the car really is different.

give it 2 or 3 weeks of driving and you'll feel like you're back to stock. Cold starts sounds the best though when the charcoal delete and K&N.

yeah usually thats the case with any car though, get use to it. My next thing is trying to jump on a PE or Magnaflow system to listen to the engine as I shift. Sounds dumb, but makes the ride that more enjoyable. lol

Did your MPG really increase with stage 2? I'm assuming it's AA right? |
