thanks guys. I got the stillen ztube and not the oem ztube, I don't know if it makes a differens or not. my car is a 2006 coupe MT. it sounds f$#kin mean!!!!!!!!! after 4K rpm it is freaking loud and mean. it is the only mod I have done. I really recommand it to everybody. I decided to skip on putting the bolt that is on the bottom, because it was almost impossible to get to. I can't say that I felt a whole lot of performane, but it sounds freaking amazing. let me know if u guys want me to get a video clip or something. it took me a good hour to take everything off and putting the new stuff in. sorry if thisis written weird, I am posting this from my phone. peace mahdi.

Check out their web site. Motordyne Engineering. Depending upon your engine, 298 HP or 280, they have either a spacer or the MRev mods to add noticable HP. The Plenum spacer has been Dyno proven 10+ HP plus added Torque.

It doesn't completely adjust to new air/fuel. Once the original programming is set in the ECU it doesn't erase it with new ones. It's in the SM on how the ECU works. It's best to unplug the ECU and let it learn. After about 100-150 miles of driviing your car will be a different beast.
