I did the long arm CAI and the billet pulley from roadracemotorsports and I was impressed. I wasnt expecting anything huge, but the deeper sound would have been worth the money itself for the intake.

It reponds faster, my mpg's jumped up and I notice its more torquey, especially when the VVT kicks in!

hate to say it but if you have a car in the US, with the 2.0L engine, there is no VVT.

I sure hope it does, or the dealer flat out lied to me! (not a big stretch though) I'll have to find the original brochures/paperwork. Obviously there are differences where the sx4 is sold, what about the model years?

Potentially bummed, but still happy with my sx4!

only the 1.6L sold everywhere else has VVT, no 2.0L SX4's have VVT, they do have a variable intake system thing tho, but its not VVT.

Well thanks rovert97 for the clarification, I'll have to study into the variable intake system. I do notice that when I push a high gear slowly, there is a definite adjustment that seems to add more torque, then I have to back off the gas further to maintain that same speed.
