Surprisingly, the idle is more steady than ever now. The tiptronic transmission is shifting really smoothly now too. Before it used to hesitate slightly when going into 2nd, fourth, and fifth. The sound is louder, especially when I accelerate. It added more bass resonance to the exhaust. Still trying to get used to it.
For now, it seems there may be slightly less power in the higher gears but I was afraid to drive it hard since I accidently disconnected one end of the J-tube trying to get the new intake in. Duct tape is the only temporary solution I had. I'm going to replace the lock on that end or the entire J-tube in a few days.
Give me a week and time for the car to adjust to the greater air flow and I'll post another update. Not sure which changes are permanent yet.
