More importantly, I am sure glad I found this forum! First time I drove an FRS it had the TRD exhaust, so I was sure I was going to get that. Because of this forum I now have the OFH/OFT and the free sound tube plug, instead. For less than the cost of the TRD exhaust I have a car that runs MUCH better, inside the car sounds better, and outside the car is quieter!
The was an interesting comment about the plug in the glove box fitting.

I met Tada San the Toyota 86 engineer when he was in NZ so sent him the following question:

"Hi Tada san - we met when you were in New Zealand.
I wondered if you might answer a question for me.
Did you design the accessories 12V plug in the glove box to perfectly fit into the sound tube entry in the fire wall or is it just a coincidence that it fits exactly?
Kind regards
Paul"

His reply - "I did it!"
