Default CorkSport boost pipe actually works

I recently installed the CorkSport boost pipe and, son of a gun, it actually gives me much better throttle tip-in response. Also I notice it when I'm doing say, 65 and want to pass. The throttle response seems better there too.

Sometimes even a blind squirrel gets an acorn. ;o)

P.S. I bought this pipe B/C I live in the Las Vegas valley and the OEM boost pipe was a dishrag. I felt, with its single fabric reinforcement layer, it likely expanded too much when it was really hot, with pavement temps over 120 F. The 4 fabric layer CorkSport pipe was much stiffer and siliconized rubber that would also last longer in our summer heat.

Default Save gas??

I wonder if I'll be saving a bit of gas since I don't have to depress the go pedal as much to get the desired initial acceleration?
