The vid can't really tell you the experience of it. Despite the excessive noise of it I really do love it tho.

I do feel like Im slower with it tho. With the cat on I feel like the car is peppier and really moves when I want it too. With the midpipe it feels like the car accelerates alot slower now. I probably just need a tune but that's just me.

As for the intake, it works wonders. It's definitely a bit throatier that the stock and I didn't feel like I lost anything when I changed it. My previous s1 had the aem cold air intake and when I had it, it felt like the top end (high rpm) pick up was better but my low end took a dive for it. This intake feels alot like the stock. No low end loss with a barely noticeable top end gain. The car just runs a little smoother with it. For the price of it tho its not worth changing the 8s already godlike intake system tho. Seriously the stock intake is that good. I got the revi for free when I bought the car. Otherwise I wouldn't pay the 500+ it's worth.
