I'd wager that a return to a stock exhaust would give you the improvement that myself and others have experienced from the Alta intake. It's not a matter of too much air in, but not enough back pressure to utilize it.
Me, I'm having the pulley put on at Helix tomorrow..can't wait.
The exhaust, however will stay stock.

There is probably some truth to that but I'm not giving up the gains the exhaust gives me.

I wish Helix was closer. 5 1/2 hours one way is too much for a day trip.
That's where I want to get mine done though.

Good luck and post some feedback info.
