THE CAR FEELS A LIL MORE RESPONSIVE AND IM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS MOD. iT ALSO MAKES MY ENGINE BAY LOOK A LOT NICER. MY NEXT MOD MIGHT JUS BE A POLISHED PLENUM TO MATCH THE CHROME INTAKE.

Yeah, good question, do we have to unplugged both the + and - terminals or what. I have the Pop Charger and have not had any warning lights or stalling problems, but I didn't unplug or reprogram the ECU. Can or will anyone answer this question that has beem posed 3 times in this forum?

yeah i used to average about 22-24mpg throughout my week of driving to work. Now I'm getting 24-26mpg.
sometimes the test is skewed a little because since i have installed the popcharger, i've been beating the crap out of the car more often just to hear that vicious sound.

I just installed it and it does make the engine bay look nicer.
Looks/Bling: Very good.
Ease of install: ez, took about a leisurely hour. You don't need to disconnect any wires. Before you start tightening bolts down, make sure you have everything lined up first.
Sound: No whistling or BOV sound heard on mine, and it was installed perfectly. Little deeper tone as mentioned in other posts from 4k on.
Performance: Butt-Dyno indicates not much of a change.
For the money it's not bad for looks. You'll need H/E to complete any worthwhile gains.
