It wasn't "Eliminated" like removed, unwanted. It went away while trying to make more HP from the engine, by having same length headers which is more efficient.

Hmmm, I see a lot of NJ plates on these BRZ sightings. Anyone else notice that?

That would explain a lot. Maybe they can bring the BRZ's here a little faster!

The port they use to ship cars to the east coast is in Quonset, RI. Which is not too far from one of the sites I work at. I've seen countless trucks with Subarus haven't seen a BRZ yet.

Sorry, but there are a ton of American / American designed cars that have the weird vent things... most are nonfunctional on top of that. Not saying any (if not all) are tacky... that's up to the owner, but some just come that way. Seems like everyone has the GTR front and M3 fenders and black roofs and BBS-style mesh wheels and fake carbon fiber interiors.

I found it amusing that in the recent Automobile mag article on the new Viper, the designers made a point several times of saying "All the vents are functional!". I guess that shows where we are on this.
