Perhaps we can meet for lunch or I'll drive out to your house after work. Let me know. Oh Yeah. Congrats on the purchase. Should be awesome.

Thankfully I still have my winters on.

Regarding the noise at 4K, you can definitely hear the sound change when you are on the gas, but I don't find it annoying.

I actually plugged the noise generator hole to the cabin the other day and I'd say the overall sound of the car is much nicer. You can hear the real engine noise, but not the pumped in on.

I will, at some point be getting the OFH too. My other expensive hobby is currently battling the car for funds right now though.

HOOKERS!!!!. JK had to. Thanks for the info on the OFT. I am leaning toward the catted header from FT86speed factory. Trying to keep the noise to a reasonable level, although I must admit Chads ( GT86 ) with everything done to his car sounded really good. His header was supplied by Lachute, I believe.

Thanks in advance. Cheers

The general consensus is that there is very little to be gained from a custom exhaust with the OFH other than noise.

If you check the OFH thread there are a few different videos that capture the sound.

Looking at 12-20 hp more, unless you use E85 then expect more. I believe Vignesh who is still NA has tried E85 and said there was a very noticeable gain over pump gas.

You forgot the blow. Can't have hookers without blow.

See my reply above on the sound. I'm not planning on doing an exhaust when I get the OFH.

That's a lot of oil and brake fluid.

Stocking up for the zombie apocalypse? Or were there other goodies in there as well.

Kenny. Will the OFT change your status in Autocross?

Golftown Norm? My other addiction!

Remember that other hobby I was mentioning? I spent last week at Pinehurst and the Masters.

Oh yeah that's right. Hope you had a great time. I personally was disappointed this year as the course did not allow for the usual back nine excitement. 15 th green was unable to hold anything. Most greens were not very receptive. Hopefully they or mother nature will fix that next year. Still though a beautiful course.
