Excellent! Well worth gong to see them. I am not a big U2 fan but my neighbor had extra tkts so we went. Bono is a bit political but not to the extent of being offending. At least his political point of view is really for the oppressed, which I can respect. And he does put his money where his mouth is. So I may not agree with him supporting Obama I do support him raising awareness of the kids of Dar Four (sp?), the jailed president of Burmah, Etc.

But it was a great sounding concert..

I never went over 4k with using less than 1/2 throttle so the sound only tipped in every now and then.

I think I'll leave Stage 1 & 2 installed
Wow! Dude you got the pipes like a few days ago and are already flossin' them. Glad you are happy with them and it sounds like the wife does not disapprove.

Re: stage 2 sts-v upgrade

the stock intake system is very restrictive to keep blower whine down.

Stage 1 replaces the stock engine air filter and pipe. Stage 2 replaces the stock Y pipe that connects between the engine air filter/MAF and the actual intake on the backside of the engine.

Here's D3s with the intakes on, should give you an idea of the additional whine when it's not being restricted.
