Fantastic... Engine much smoother, and quieter, just feels better from cold

So I've not had my caddy for just over two and a half weeks, I had someone run into the rear bumper, I went through my insurance and they ended up painting the rear bumper and tailgate, I picked it up last night but it's got to go back in next week as the paint has a couple of pin hole marks on the tailgate so it will have to be painted unfortunately again

I was lucky as I don't have a back box, we had to drop the silencer on the other caddy and it was tight
