I installed the TT system on my GLX. It sounds pretty good too. I didn't
notice any loss of low end torque, but it still doesn't have much power
past 6000. The car needs a set of cams now. It does seem to rev quicker up
to redline though. I think the 2 1/2" TT system will also work great with a
turbo...

If you get a K&N, get one that goes in the factory airbox. I noticed my car
losing power on hot summer days with the P-flow on. I took it off.
