It's the perfect combo for daily driving.
I'll look into the FT86SF option. I've shied away from ACE so far, due to expense, lead time, clearance issues. I'm not looking to replace one problem (midrange), with other problems (fitment, loudness, rasp). I'm also not seeing coating as an option on the CSG packages...Is the coating option dropped? If so, why?
Edit: The FT86speedfactory catted options seem to tick some boxes, especially if if catless will likely have noise/rasp/inspection issues. Anyone have coating preference "black" vs "tungsten" (or is the difference cosmetic only?). I've watched the "Everyday Driver" linked video (again), which gives results/opinions, with no tune (I like the tone, but maybe a bit quieter...Perrin over their V1?). Would a V4 OFT/OTS tune play nice with my MY 20 with these parts? Had to fill out an email form to request a call back from them, and their catless headers are listed as "backordered". Will report results after someone calls me back.
