hmmm apexi filter???

I just installed my apexi dry filter on my car, replaced the new style jwt filter, which i liked, didn't have it on long, but heard such good things about the apexi dry filter and saw numbers where it even dyno'd better than k & n filters, kyb filters, etc.....and i don't know if it's because i didn't reset the ecu, but it isn't as loud as my new style jwt, and is much smaller......i don't seem to feel the power or the growl that i felt from my old setup, was wondering if anyone has any input on the subject, comments would be greatly appreciated

ps. i have it accompanied by a frankencar midpipe

thanks again

John
