Don't like the sound. I prefer the Equal length sound. HKS equal length and full exhaust gives that sick, rasp tone similar to an SR.

I only like boxer sounding motors when there's a turbo bolted to it.

Yeah that has actually been my toss up for a while. I can't decide between EL or UEL. I like the EL sound, but sometimes it sounds a little to high pitched. If I could find an EL coupled with a throaty exhaust that would be nice.

The way it sounds when it pops the limiter makes me pop a chub

I'd rather it be linear throughout-as most others on here do.

Some of the courses I drive are mid 3rd gear courses. Can't go into 2nd cause then you've already run out of gear and 4th isn't possible cause 160whp isn't all that much to begin with. Having that mid range torque back would make the car feel so much faster, even though, it wouldn't really be.

Agreed.. Especially painful for those who track the car.. Not being able to use a certain gear due to rpm rape.. Understandable..
It doesn't affect me too badly in daily driving.. Hopefully they develop a fix for it from the OEM.

Nothing I enjoy more right now than grabbing a beer when the family is sleeping and going out to the garage to wipe her down. The only problem with that is I find a new paint chip daily.

My understanding is that an Ecutek tune and some minor mods to exhaust will fix the torque dip issue and make the car more responsive.
