Easy to install, no warranty problems. However, the Aero uses the T7 engine management unit, which is different than the older T5 in that it controls engine torque rather than boost pressure. This system is adaptive in a couple of ways. First, making any modifications either end of the airflow will do nothing for performance, other than increase the spool up times for the turbo. The T7 will just make the engine work less hard to achieve the same result (a good thing, but not what you're after). The T7 is also adaptive to driving habits, and will tune down the engine if you're a dull driver. I find this quite noticable if my wife has been driving the car for a while. Get out and push it a little, and it might liven up for you.
As far as handling goes, I've noticed the same thing in my Viggen. The aerodynamic packages on these cars are just window dressing until you get up above 80-90. Like you, I'm convinced that these cars handle better at 100 than at 75. Tell that to the nice officer when he pulls you over.
