Yes I do .

When I put the intake on some time ago (Simota carbon box) it didn't make a ton of difference. I wasn't expecting much then as I knew I really needed a header to compliment it. But I don't get much time to do these things and at the time the header was more than I wanted to tackle.

I ran the NST pulley for a while but pulled it off a couple years ago and have been running the stock since. I gotta say though - with the NST the engine was still lacking something from a dead stop. Now I don't know if it's just MI's pulley or the combination of that and the header, but starting from a dead stop is much easier and I don't need to feather the throttle so much if at all. The idle has greatly improved as well.

All in all the car has a little bit more muscle now. Not a lot more, but enough to feel the difference and that makes me happy.

It's my DD but I work from home so I don't put a lot of miles on it.

I've got a '97 Wrangler that I bought in '98 and it's still under 90k. I use it primarily during the winter and for trips to the mountains but it's been a bit neglected since I've owned the Yaris. I'll be giving the Jeep some love soon though.

How's your Wrangler doing btw?
