^X2!! thats how the s2k community is turning for some odd reason.
to the OP, just cuz you feel that we as a community asked to hear how your setup sounds... you didnt have to risk the lives of others to do so. and not knowing where the moped was when you cut him off is just as bad than if you did know and still cut him off. not to mention, stop saying you made this video to help us "feel" how ITBs are from inside the car... thats impossible from a video lol
for the 10.000th time, I didn't cut the moped off. He was already moving into the right lane when I accelerated, and he took the far right before I cut him off
I didn't risk any lives.
sounds great man. I would love ITBS if they gave more power for how much they cost for everything.

Awesome video!
I have a question though. What's the point of ITBs? Are they just engine bling and some sound? I mean, engine bling isn't a bad thing but they're $600 so I'm wondering if you can say whether or not they are worth that price tag. Your S sounds so awesome but I doubt that is just the ITB making that beautiful noise considering you have exhaust work from the headers back...
but man that sounds sexy

They aren't for looks, they are just like most upgraded aftermarket parts, to add power. ITBS do give great gains but you have to have a full EMS to run them properly which is another $1000 plus a tune. So you will be spending a couple grand to have them running right and everything. On a basic bolt on S with ITBS and a tune I would say it would be anywhere around the 250whp mark.

The clutch lasted that shifting for 20.000 miles. It is slipping not because how I shift, because I used it long enough now it is time to change. Sounds even better in real life 
Hope to take more vids with a better camera

OBX-R ITB $700
Injectors $400
Fuel Pressure Regulator $150
Throttle Position Sensor $40
AEM EMS $1200
Lots of tuning $???
So you are looking at $2500 + Tune
It will give you better mid range power, better throttle response and amazing sound!!

Everything you hear is from ITBs. It is so loud that it is impossible to hear your exhaust inside the car...
