Well I finally got my car back from the dealer after waiting for the primary sensors which were on order. I must say I do miss the effects of the long tube headers vs stock. I notice a HUGE power difference (power loss) in 1st and 2nd gear when going WOT at any RPM. It also sucks to not be able to kick the rear end out round corners in 2nd gear at low rpms in areas with no traffic and no annoying cyclists. I also notice that even though when I had the long tubes on the car and it didn't feel like it was going from 60-100 faster, I notice it feels slower without the long tubes if that makes sense. When in 3rd gear, I remember getting an instant pull of power with the long tubes and now it seems the car is slower. And the last thing is the freeway driving. I could pretty much do everything in 6th gear with the long tubes. Now I have down shift to 5th to maintain speeds on inclines without losing mpg. Anyway that is my post removal review lol
