Alright so there hasnt been much discussion about this thing. I ordered it from Protege Garagge and it came in Saturday. Install was a breeze, everything works as claimed.

Driving impressions...im gonna pull a cobb ap type review here and say that it feels smoother. 'Driveability' has improved. What i really noticed that was surprising was that those wierd unexplainable knock readings are almost eliminated. That right there, even if they are flase, is wroth it imo.

My butt dyno sucks so i can't say it pulls harder ect ect so i wont.

anything that reduces knock is worth the price imo. Im just reporting my findings/opinions...the choice is yours lol

Do you think a catback is worth 500 bucks?
