And the new filter installed!




I have reset ECU and went for a run.
People claimed to have an increased suction noise and slight increase in power.
My ears didn't notice and appreciable increase in suction noise (but I am running cat-less and Manzo muffler) and dynobutt also doesn't really discern any power, maybe a little bit more torque at low end.
Immediately I had a change in exhaust note, before I used to have a nice symphony reaching exactly 4000rpm to 4500rpm with my catless and sport manifolds setup, it is now a little bit less appreciable and more raspy on higher rpm and full throttle.

Update day2: My symphony at 4000rpm is still there , it seems ECU adapted and exhaust note got louder almost as before (I am still convinced it is a bit less than with OEM filter, maybe because of the size?).

Overall seems like it did no harm to performance and could have helped with low end torque and raspier tone on high rpm. I am not sure a dyno would be able to pick up such as small performance difference as 3-5HP

Maybe my dynobutt feels a lighter wallet
