Notice it in rev matching. And honestly, I would swear there's a bit more there at WOT above 3K rpm. Also a bit more intake noise with more of a "howl" sound? Am I imagining all this, or possible with a ported TB? I do feel power more readily accessible. Bottom line, car is even more fun to drive than it was this morning!

Oh, and only took 10 minutes and got to peek inside intake manifold. Catch can working good!

Great choice! If the budget allows it, I'd go with Katech every time.

The howl is probably something else as the goal is to smooth out incoming air, but the response time and reduction of tip-in/out delay is real.

Just took mine off the original IM to slap onto a GPI rod mod they sourced from a C6 GS. Originally went to change out the VLOM solenoid valley cover to fully disable DOD mechanically after doing so in software.
