Moves faster?

I had my intake,ypipe and my muffler all installed last month at the same time. I felt the differnce in the pick up of speed after installation. This morning while diving to work, which is like a month later, I notice the car seems to be moving much quicker. Can someone tell me if it's me, wanting my car to move quicker! or does it take's some time for the car to get use to the new parts?

Re: Moves faster?

Well did you reset your ECU when you got it installed? If you did not reset it, then it may very well be faster since your ECU is getting used to everything. If you did not recet it, it might just be you.

By resetting your ECU your computer will learn how to use these parts more quickly. Again, look at the sticky thread on the top of the first 4th Generation page. It will explain how.
