I'll go as far as to say that with the tune, this car can keep up with the big boys on the highway.
I'll be installing the FVD long headers later this summer and then re-flash the software. For what it's worth, I like the FVD tune because when you add the different bolt ons to your car as part of staged builds, they allow you to update the tune for free.
My two cents: The IPD plenum alone might not be worth it, and gains will be marginal at best, but when you add in the intake, header, exhaust, and especially a software tune, you are golden. But please do not expect the performance of a twin turbo setup. That's not realistic. Go buy a car designed to go fast.

Any change in sound with the BMC filter? I've been meaning to change my filter and debating between oem paper and BMC. I don't really care if it adds a few hp, I'm just interested in more intake noise! Would it be worth it from that perspective?
Already done de-snork btw
