Actually, the PCM should compensate as far as the A/F ratio. Still though,
you relieved some of the intake you should try and relieve some of the
exhaust, a nice cat-back system will do. See what Bernd's selling in Speed
Tweaks ( www.speedtweaks.net ). You could buy what I got (Borla) but that's
really expensive comparatively speaking.

Hi Ron, Thanks
So far the K&N is the only mod I have done to date. Intake was stock. And
I did reset the PCM according to Bernd's instructions that he seems to post
so often because of new comers questions (Thanks Bernd). So if everything
is leaned out does this mean that a better, freer flowing exhaust might
help?
Thanks again
Jay
