I never actually ran the stage 2 due to temporary living in an apartment and not having the time to put all my stuff in before I sold the car. Basically I bought the part for a lot of money and sold it for a lot less lol.

lucky me. I got it for a lot less price. But I think JPJR sent it via pack mule. Sent it on 9-28 and is on time shipped for a Oct 5th delivery.... :-)

I've installed many of the stage 2 upgrades on completely stock vehicles and boy what a night and day difference...totally worth it! I say go for it. just make sure the "tuner" knows what they are doing with the Northstar...you would be surprised on how many that don't.

UMMMMM!!!! YEAH!!!!!! I installed the stage 1 and stage 2 intakes today..... Normal light foot driving isn't too bad.. Half to full throttle UMMMMM!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!! its freekin LOUD!!! People definately look over.

I had removed the barrels on the stock intake for about a year now and it took 3/4 to full throttle to hear it so that is how I drove most of the time. NOW I am going to have to reverse that thinking. 1/4 around town will do it now. So I guess I should save gas now.

I'll keep you posted on the wife factor as she hasn't driven in it or driven it yet. I know I will never open it up with her in the car... Just not a good idea.

Next step is to load the max tune and see how much gain all the mods get together. Initial stock tune thoughts is an improved low end throttle response.

Yeah the stage 2 just had too much S/C whine for me, despite any HP gains it provided.

Well the wife drove the car all day today and never said anything. I asked if she noticed the "new air filter" I installed and she didn't notice. She must have a very soft foot. We drove to the U2 concert tonight in the car and she heard it when I drove the car but never really said anything.

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
