Hi !
Just did 55miles today on my daily commute, and everything worked fine !

I only did one pull WOT, and yes, it feels more powerful even on the first gear (1st gear pull are usually not showing great improvement due to flywheel inertia).

The intake sound changed too ! louder at any speed when you put your foot down !
I wanted to make a video at home, but my neighbours were there trying to rent their condo, therefor I couldn't rev the engine, it would have looked bad !

I'll try with the dashcam if I don't forget it.

Also, I found a better way to measure the effectiveness of the modification.
Taking acceleration measurement is hard because you have to repeat the exact same procedure each time.

So instead, I'll use my OBDII scanner to get MAF readings.
What we want with the plenum is better airflow at WOT, and it's easy to see it with the scan tool.
We'll see if there is an improvement over stock, or it's just the noise that makes me feel that.
I just have to do pulls from 1000rpm to 7200rpm in any gear to compare.
As long as the weather conditions are the same: Today 29°C and 55% of humidity.
