The frist few days my car would be nice a loud and pretty fast, not I noticed that sometime its sounds like if it were back to stock and it doesn feel as fast...

I have an Injen CAI.

could it just be me?

Your CAI didn't make your car any faster in the first place, so your mental HP boost probably just wore off. It's normal.

coolness... btw have you cleaned your airfilter in a lil while? The dirtyness can muffle the sound a lil bit.

the best way is to pull the fuse, that way you dont have to reset you clock and all your preset radio stations.

Throw a fat APC decal up on your rear window, follow'er by a Type R badge on the trunk. That'll hook you up real nice; 15whp, easy.
