The sensation was similar to waiting on old turbos to spool. I assume that the car’s adaptations adjusted to the equipment. Car pulls linearly now.
I don’t like this particular X, however, because the cats hang down too far and I can rub on speed bumps. The car isn’t lowered much at all. I digress.

That's exactly what I'm trying to describe, like turbos waiting to spool, where you apply throttle and nothing really happens. But if this happens from 0 mph then it's a bit dangerous, like when making left turns with fast moving traffic.
I'm concerned the Akra will behave similar to a forward X, because of the 'H' crossover it has at the front. Hoping someone with one can chime in.
