Soul intake/exhaust questions

[Daox]

I am well aware of that. I'm also aware that aftermarket intakes are designed to shift the torque band to a higher rpm to increase horsepower, not shift the torque band lower which is what is needed to increase fuel economy.

Or in case of an automatic it simply down shifts to jumps to a higher rpm. Thats the flat spotting i'm referencing. "

Thanks, I've noticed this before and never considered too much why it was so. This makes sense to me now.
