Cool, I was hoping keep the existing sound or even go a little deeper. Good to know it'll sound stock-ish.

It's pretty quick as is, and the only real gripe I have is that the acceleration seems to die off on the top end. It feels like it has more pull from 3000- 5500 or so than 5500 to redline. Am I imagining things? I don't know what I was thinking, I got an automatic instead of manual, so stomping the pedal almost always puts me into the upper rpm range. Sort of irritating that I can't shift early to avoid the dead zone.

I'm guessing a DP won't really help much in that area, but it sounds like the gateway mod to raise your boost levels and add on more goodies.
