Question New cat-back & short ram...

Started doing mods and I finished installing a short ram from K&N and a cat back system from Magnaflow. The car, Civic 2006 EX auto (R18) has change it's performance a little for the better, but questionable! I still feel some hesitation in it's response time or sluggishness. Is there more tweeking to do for this set-up ?

--The supposed performance increase is questionable after my mods. Is there any tweeking I most do that I don't know of?

Thanks for any help.

The r18 isn't exactly made for power. An intake and exhaust won't net a big power gain. You'll hear it more than feel it.
