Thanks mate. Enjoying every bit of it. Already clocked 400kms and topped the tank this morning and clocked over 100kms after tank full. At the moment fuel consumption is sitting at 9.0L per 100kms. Most of it was on freeway and the rest in bumper to bumper peak hour traffic and few spirited take offs at the lights and on freeway ramps.

Having MTX am not lucky to get the 'kick at the back' like yours when secondaries kick in, however one good thing is there is no lag when secondaries activate. Its continuous acceleration and when IMRC activates more rapid acceleration without lag. This was a surprise. Am not sure if this is because of IMRC relocation or cold air or clean UIM and LIM. Whatever, I just love it.

Loving K&N, at the moment I enclosed pod inlet into fender where stock airbox fits, just to stop hot engine bay air being sucked in. So, I hear huge gush of air being sucked in like a jet turbine sound only with passenger side window down. However, I drove with pod inlet left open in engine bay, and that sound is amazing.. even with windows closed. What a difference with and without K&N.
