Astroman, can you feel the difference in rev speed? Engine idle? What is your take on it?

It revs up quicker, which I notice the most when I give it more than half throttle to full throttle at speeds above 30mph or so. At a standstill in "P" when I rev it up it sounds smoother. As far as idle goes, it seems like the car is quieter now. From about 20ft away I can barely here it running, and thats with the TRD exhaust. All in all the car feels lighter when I give it some gas (or a lot, lol), seems smoother and revs up quicker. I haven't got the numbers yet on MPG (the last time I checked before the install I got 28.9mpg, but I was pushing the car pretty hard in town and on the freeway, almost all of my driving was in town for that tank). I do know I filled up a couple days ago and even with all in town driving my gas gauge hasn't dropped a bar. I should have some good numbers next week.
