I can definitely feel more responsiveness when I'm accelerating at 3-5k rpm and hear a more beefy, throaty sound. Besides that, I think normal daily driving doesn't show much difference.

I never heard the F-sport in person, but I think the F-sport intake box, or stock intake box with drilled holes is what makes the biggest difference in sound.
