Yes, so far I really like them. Maybe there is a Borla in my future sometime too. Is the only source out of the US? I'd also love to do the plenum or spacer and the ignition booster, whatever that was called.

It's a great mod, but I've not seen it for sale here. Sounds like the spacer gives as much as the plenum.
The 'Hyper Voltage System' I like too, and coupled with the 'hyper grounding', is a great mod too.

You all trainded up for the Boston? Only 4 days to go.....G/L.

Thanks for naming the hyper voltage system. I was having a mental block earlier. I guess if it's the Borla I'll have to bring in to Halifax. Yeah the spacer seems to have good reviews, saves some money and I think keeps the stock cover on too.

Thanks also for the good luck wish in Boston. I'm ready to go for #3, and leave early Saturday morning. The forecast is for warm temps and sunny so it won't be fast but I'm pumped nontheless .
Here's a few of my very fast buddies that are running: #1393 Harry,1501 Ray,1581 Hugh,1663 Rami. they're the top guys from NS too.

So I installed the ztube today and resetted the ECU. There is definitely a nice audio improvement, the sound of air rushing in through the tube was quite prominent from about 3k and up. As far as performance gain, I didn't feel any, but throttle response seems better, not sure whether it's the ztube or the ECU reset. My car has just over 1,000 km now.

The 'Tube' definitely accentuates the intake tunes....lol.
The ECU reset may have more to do with the improved throttle response than the tube, but you gain a few ponies in the deal.
With this fine engine, it's hard to get more out of it with any mod....(other than FI of course).
Yours still isn't broken in yet, so it'll loosen somewhat too.

Enjoy, and see you on the 24th.

Colin
