Yeah, it did feel like it ran through the revs a little quicker. I noticed that I kept hitting the limiter before shifting. I usually had my shifts timed perfect.

My digi camera actually DOES have video, I thought it was to old to have that option lol Anyway, the exhaust sounds a lot like the second video of the "drive away" but it seemed raspier than mine on the first video. However, I did notice it mellowed out as it warmed up as I think someone mentioned way earlier in this thread. And yes, definite power gains especially once the variable valve timing kicks in. I can still take a vid at some point this week if anyone is still interested, although its raining here for few days...

+1, sounds awesome on the highway. All in all, any (minimal) drone is heard on the highway, at lower rpms. But even still, its not obnoxious.
