Love it! I bet it feels amazing to drive after some of these "lightening mods". Wish I could drive it myself and experience it! Keep up the good work.
Edit: Post up more pics of the exhaust!

Got the exhaust installed today! I am really impressed with this I was scared it would be too loud. Fitment was perfect
Keep in mind the cat on my Hooker Headers front pipe was rattling/then clogged/ then blew partially out within the last month. I stuck a plumbing snake up there and something is still intact. Will most likely take a gamble now on a catless 2.75"/70mm front pipe soon [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_0dc7MRg_I"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_0dc7MRg_I[/ame] |

It sounds remarkably tame. I was expecting it to be really loud.
Thanks Tom |

My intention is header and catback only and leave the rest stock. The tone sounds much different than a Borla, not that I think a Borla sounds bad or anything. Let us know what you think when you get the front pipe replaced. I'm very curious as I've been eyeing this catback too. |

Great build, I love the lightweight approach and I’m very jealous of those dry carbon body parts

Did you ever get / find a lightweight sway bar? specifically a front one? i know cusco has the 14mm hollow for the rear not sure the weight but probably 2-3lbs lighter, but i prefer taking off as much front weight as possible since i have a sprintex supercharger, need to re-balance the car.

Im most likely just going to get a early model rear 14mm Sway vs the 15mm on 17' models. Like you my concern at this point is getting more off the front. |

You should put a list of every weight reduction mod you've done so far and put it in your first post for easy reference for other people. Your probably the lightest active member on here. I'm at about 210lbs weight reduction by my SC adds about 65lbs back into the front, and so much easy weight reduction is done in the rear. but i am close to getting the stock weight balance back. |

Not a huge revelation but I was thinking a gutted stock steering wheel would be the same weight as my NRG wheel + adapter. Damn right!
I really like the MY 17+ wheels, now I get my radio buttons back and cruise control back, plus should be easier to pass inspections with a stock wheel Gutted the airbag and some useless chunk off metal 3lbs 15oz gutted NRG with adapter 3lbs 12oz So nearly the same weight, balance has been restored! |

Could be some debate as to what I am considering Front/Middle/Rear but it works for me That's why I wanted to stay NA so I wouldn't add weight/complexity to the front. But im sure your car hauls ass! |
