From the stoplight or gap shooter it is second to none as you never have to worry about what gear or rpm you are in. Also when you lift off, the car will brake, it's unique feeling, almost like you can push and pull the car with your foot.

But on the freeway no, it is terrible as the battery can't hold long acceleration. A couple hard pull and the car will go into limp mode.
Honestly I dont know why either- maybe cause Ill actually like the car even without the exhaust.

So you are saying just 2 hard bursts on the freeway and it becomes a weak 100 mph trapper??
