Default Ordered FTRA

I ordered the FTRA today..I heard a lot of good comments on this mod. For the people out there who have this how have you liked it so far? Can you feel a difference? How much HP does it give you at the wheels?

Gains are probably subjective to the amount of other mods you have done.

Here's a good link that explains the gains for the FTRA

Not trying to highjack the thread, but how does this mod compare to the BGRA? I'm trying to decide, and if u say 15 rwhp with the FTRA then i'd do that. I have a TA Ram Air.
