as far as dislikes, the FMIC kit had a couple fitment issues, but as far as functionality, everything works great.

Oh, and the bell housing on the CNT DP made it a little difficult to get the lower to nuts on the studs. Just ask AuroraAxela. lol

A little part of me was hesitent on the new BPV, but its working like a champ. lol.
(my cobb valve is for sale BTW. :D)

as far as performance, i'm seeing some slight things, but nothing a custom tune won't fix. but she pulls like a B!tch now! hahaha
