Put that stuff on with a help of a friend. Also replace the O2 senson on the rear engine bank exhaust manifold. Also, figured out the problem with the ebay short ram intake, that i got, its that the filtre it comes with is really sh*tty, because the front side has that metal mesh. the metal mesh allows a lot of small particle dust to get through, rendering the filtre useless, unless you cover up the mesh which i did. oh yeah, forgot to mention that in addition to adding the ssb brake lines i put on new akibono brake pads last week. before i put that stuff in the steering wheel would vibrate when slowing down from fast speeds, now that's all gone, and it stops like hell.
the intake got me a lot more pull between 5k-6k rpm, seemed like the car pulled better through the whole range, but that might be attributed to getting the O2 sensor replace, which has been gone since april. yeah, some what of a rant there, but you get the point.

yea i think ur performance increase is from replacing the sensor. cuz short ram will actually decrease your performance. i installed mine and it doesnt make hte car any faster, just louder. the cai will be going on in a couple of weeks tho, cant wait

Since he did notice more power from 5k-6k that could also be from the short ram. It causes you to lose power off the line, but once you going it can actually increase power

yeah, exactly how it feels, never had that much pull between 5 and 6, that part of the power band used to be pretty useless.
