Default post install gains?

Hey everyone,

I just put my "Magna mouth" on my 99 z28. Other mods are just a lid powerwise.

I am in love and would reccomend it to anyone, its not that loud at all. Tone is great to me it's just what a muscle car should sound like. But what I am asking for help with is well I had this exhaust installed tuesday. It felt like stock powerwise till say Thrusday.

I'm not claiming a huge sotp change just a bit smoother and I can mostly tell at low throttle and low rpm. I can drive in 6th at 45, its not got any pull but not feeling like it's about to die.

From my reading I havnt heard it to be an adative ecu so why did I notice it just now not when first on if anything I asmued i'd be feeling it second its on the most?

Glad to hear you like your exhaust. If you like, I love it. ENJOY !!!
My car ran better a couple days after I put the VaraRam Ram air
CAI on. Not sure why, computer must've adjusted to the additional air,
and cooler air charge.
