i have the cvt and aem cai.

it has a little kick on dead starts but of course you still have the flat spot till you get to 3 grand its a little better but once you get to 3 grand it sounds off and you get a decent little boost and if you feather it at 5500 you can get some speed up real quick.

but i got it for the gas mileage so i have to resist the urge to have a lead foot.

plus i dont want to chance waring out the cvt by blasting the accelerator all the time. but its a nice feeling knowing you have it there in case you need it.

i have a cvt with aem CAI and im just finishing up the mountings... to tell you the truth everytime you cruise whether at 10 or 80 mph it is quite... but if you accelerate its roaring... :P i love it... it has a little kick and better take off from 0 but im idling at 1200 rpm i dont know if that is norm... :P

That's cool. Thanks for everyone's input. I just wanted to know that it was a worthwhile investment even though I don't have a six speed.
