Thanks guys!
I love the pull, even tho it is small.

also, finally(?) the CEL came on.
the guy installed the header told me that he'll send me some parts so that the cell will not come on.
Once i receive the parts, i'll install it and O2 sim, and let you know how it goes.
Price wise, including O2 Sensor, it was around 500.

now i need to start looking into exhaust... ^^

it's been kinda busy at work, and being too tired to do anything and kept forgetting about this..

I still have CEL lights on (I haven't done anything about it yet..), but my car runs great!!
could be my imagination, but i feel like the car runs with a little more power. and i think the RPM at highway speed is lowered.
(It used to be around 3200RPM at 80 in flat highway, but now its a little below 3000RPM.

So far, I really think the header and CAI worth the money and time, that i spent for them.

hm.. good question.
but since it is just a bolt on, if you have any problem you can re-install OEM header back, and take it to the dealer.

also, i should be getting the parts to fix the check engine light problem today or tomorrow.
I'll install it sometime next week.
(I will be in chicago this weekend, and cannot work on my car. if you see Sand Mica Gen2, honk me and i'll pull into nearest gas station for instant Mini Meet!!)
