After 5 months of riding around with the DMD in my trunk, I got it in yesterday. I had heard the ravings here on the board, and heard some less flattering reports on major power loss and unnoticable vibration reduction. I'm here to report that the engine runs smoother in all RPM ranges on my car. At idle, it feels as if the engine is not even on. There is no longer any vibration transfered through the clutch pedal, and the engine still revs as freely - no noticable power loss. Gas consumption has run through the roof since I'm enjoying cruising with the secondaries open. Very happy

if that was pointed at me, I just need to clear something up. I was told the dmd weighed 4 lbs heavier, therefore thats where I made the point of hp loss. now that I know it is only one pund heavier, I am not thinking a 8-9hp loss. I was fed wrong knowledge on weight and will post on the subject only when I have hard proof of what I am saying about the dmd. Micah

I am going to weigh my DMD, get a pre-dyno, and a post-dyno, and put this to rest once and for all. . .probably sometime next week when I won't need my car. ..

It's been weighed already IIRC. Only 1 lb more than stock which I don't think anyone will ever notice, not even on a dyno.
Only chance you'll get "noticable" (whatever that means) loss is going from a 1 lb UDP to a 6 lb DMD, but then your're losing the 20% underdrive and putting on 5 lbs of weight.
