I’d really like an increase in induction noise and throttle response, so I’m curious to know if those who’ve made the leap are satisfied.

I don't have any feedback yet.... but I have Z1 Intakes and am installing the Z1 Ported Plenum with my FI exhaust in the next couple of weeks followed up immediately with an ECUTEK tune.

I won't have a baseline to share hard gains, but would be happy to share my subjective opinion afterwards if that means anything to you.

I too am looking for the same results you are inquiring about. I am at the shop right now having the Stillen Lightweight Pulley installed which should improve throttle response. The last time I owned the car I noticed significant improvements in that department after I installed NST Pulleys.
