Cost around $1,000. they also cut out the tonneau around the 3" tube. I tried not to rev over 4000 rpm for the first 1500 km, but did it couple of times, no sudden push forward, just smooth acceleration, didn't hear any strange noise from the engine. The acceleration certainly much quicker once the rev are over 3000 rpm, but no turbo lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
