went to SF today, removed the vent and install vortex by AK. Tried to install HID fog light but there are technical problem so we can only install it next time when problem is solved.
had a can of beer while having dinner there. dunno if it's the effect of vortex+vent removal or effect of beer, the car feels a lot lighter on my way back home. if it's not the beer then my ride gained a lot of bhp tonite! will try it better tomorrow when I wake up...

Since almost everyone has installed the Vortex, maybe it's time to study how to improve the means for the car to "fart" more effectively now don't you think?

Feels like the car can finally breath in properly doesn't it?

If you wanna fart, get the quad mate
My car being "Feeling" faster than ricky's maybe due to i have changed the exhausts (stock vs aftermarket)

I spoke to AK the other day and he can do the throttle body same as Dinan, since it just need to polish out the throttle body to enlarge the diameter of the throttle and change the butterfly flips
