Any dyno's yet for these on an HR? What about CEL's? I know they aren't supposed to trigger a CEL on the DE's.. but from everything I've read, a CEL on a test pipe is unavoidable with the HR engine.

Just got mine on, and i immediately noticed a sound difference. Deeper and louder VQ sound since i have stock exhaust. One thing i noticed though was that at around 2k rpm, if i step on it 50% or more, it sort of lags, like the acceleration would be normal below 2k, then at ~2k, car will feel like it lags for a millisecond then i will feel the power increase.
That hissing sound at 2k when you let go of the gas pedal.. Any way to get rid of it? I can hear it when i wind off and the rpm hits 2k.
Also... I noticed i had been getting bad mpg's... I'm sure it's because im stepping on it more.. I will report back about this issue after a few days of normal driving vs. spirited driving.

At 2K RPM? It sounds like what you hear and feel coincide with the graph below?
If it was regular test pipes it would have a much larger dip from 1.5-3K RPM, it would be much louder and rasp intensely on a stock exhaust.
And if your gas consumption has gone up, its probably has a lot to do with a lead foot.
