My Sprint Booster has just arrived from Andy Wong in Hong Hong. 
True to form, it arrived only 2 days after I ordered it.
I cannot wait until it's installed.

OK. It's installed. Many thanks to Vlad who installed it this morning.
I am going out for a long drive soon and will report back.
My initial impressions after a spin around the block are that it greatly improves throttle response and that maximum power comes much faster.

Congrats! Gotta love that V8 sound when let her roar!
Truthfully, if I were not leasing, I would get RPI exhaust for the much more aggressive sound (as well as power gains). I think that the stock 550 exhaust's note is too subdued.

My SB should arrive from Andy in the next couple days. Was installation as easy as everyone says? I think I'm pretty average as far as my competency with working on cars, but this will be the first time I mess around with my 550 so I am a bit apprehensive. Did it come with solid installation instructions?
