I would sit back and wait a couple weeks. Might hear more than mumbles and grumbles.

Oil Coolers/Brake Lines...etc IMO are not in the spirit of a Spec Class and only offer additional cost and a perceived value that it's needed. Same goes with the lip.

I'm not a big fan of headers and/or tune, as it adds complexity to something "Spec". IE - If the spec was going to be Sealed Konis (they would not be OTS). You could physically examine to see if the seal has been tampered with and thus easily tell if compliance has been maintained. A tune, while possible is more involved. As well, a 2013 tune vs 2015 tune are different in how the ECU adapts and accepts that tune. No tune is 100% identical on these cars, and a Spec Class would have to be such.

In addition, IF a header and tune are allowed. It becomes a slippery slope. People will start asking for an overpipe..etc etc.

As for me, I'm sticking in STX
