I have just over 8K on my '06 ... didn't notice any major changes, but the exhaust tone did change a little ... and yes, as you don't have to worry about keeping the revs in check, it's cool to feel the vtec kick in for the first time.

My 06 has 6K on her now... I feel like its smoother now... throughout the rev range... but possibly I'm just more used to it?

No major differences really.... except now I don't feel guilty for putting the pedal to the floor

I didn't feel any differences other than the fact that you can VTEC and the various funny noises/smells start to go away.

It does seem that my car is getting more powerful with the miles but probably just butt dyno.
