The effect is very noticable.
I have had on a 9-5 Aero manual, soon to be on an automatic. This is basically the same engine. You do not need to shift differently, but with the stronger torque in the lower gears and reduced boost delay, you will change shift habits to take advantage of this. If has no effect on off boost, sop no smog impact. But as it is so easy to remove and replace, might as well have it out for the under hood inspection.
With the SMBC, a change to a low restriction air filter is quite noticable. The boost is then more responsive. With the stock boost control setup, the rate of boost is slow and that masks such effects.
Have you had the head bolts checked/retorqued?
