Mine will probably be a lot quieter because my exhaust is extremely quiet. In all honesty, I'm really just looking for the gains. Don't care much for the sound aspect of it. If I could get deeper meaner sound, that'd be great but I don't want it to drone really badly or be really really loud

Any drone on yours?

Yep lots of drone.

It didn't notice it before the headers but I am noticing it now.

there is drone, but it's not bad. I do mostly city/stop and go driving, so I don't notice it much.

no worries.

when you change your oil, you remove a bolt that drains the old oil. just replace that with a bolt that is magnetic.

So after 50 miles I'm under impressed with my mace stuff. How long before the ECU really learns it?

Also how much extra whp/crank hp do you all think the vararam, 25 mm spacer, stage 3 port, and rear cat delete give me?

Needs about 100 miles.

As to how much hp, I have no idea.

The ported IM? Maybe 5-10 rwhp considering your current mods? However, throttle response should be noticeable once it is settled. The problem is you won't notice it because it's not like at 100 miles it just shifts, it's gradually adjusting to optimum parameters. I didn't really notice my spacer because of the learning curve. I did go a few days without driving after I installed it though and that seemed like the best way to notice it, cause when I got back in I was still used to pre-mod power. Nearly took out the mail box

When I installed my Black Iceolator, ported throttlebody & did the waterbottle relocation on my CAI inc at the same time, I needed to get up to the 100 mi pretty quickly as I had a club drag race event coming up the next weekend. I came home & drove her some after work every day that week & I really could tell a difference. I felt like I had to re-learn how to drive her as she was re-learning the mods.
