There is nothing wrong with the Works filter, expensive and does not give 10kw as figures indicate, but still delivers on par with other top performance DIF.

Anyway digressing off the topic, all I wanted to point out is the best whp gain bang for your rands is a DIF. The car is what it is, if its straight line dice you want, the 86 is not for you, but also remember, the road must turn and that's when a real car comes to PLAY.... "GO PLAY"
Thanx Ryan
Can you post your before and after software upgrade, dyno sheets.
I would love to see it.
It's very strange in what you say about the midrange, because I'm not the only one that felt that the dip in the midrange is significantly reduced.
