06- air intake tube + sport air filter install--review

Patient: 2004.5 9-5 Arc wagon, AT.
Installed the 06- airbox intake tube + sport drop-in air filter from GenuineSaab yesterday.
Install didn't take more than 20 minutes. I hate where that air filter is though...and seriously, torx screws to hold the bottom cover on? But I digress.
First impressions: Performance is definitely improved. Turbo spools better now--so much that I broke traction from a dead stop twice with mid-throttle opening on dry pavement (something that previously would have only happened in Sport mode). Seems a bit more willing to downshift when requesting more throttle between 60-70mph on the freeway, too.
Haven't really romped on it yet due to traffic + nervous nellie passenger in the car today, but I'll report in once I do.
