I did not drive it without a tune. But it feel amazing over stock, so much punchier, I don't even notice the torque dip and I can pass people on the highway without downshifting.

I'm a newb. Nikon D5300 with an 18-55m lense. I just bought it like last week.

Also, got around to an exhaust video that I've been asked for so many times.

Sorry for the wind!

My car was stock for 3 years, and the torque dip/lack of low down power was starting to irritate me a little...

Then did headers and op and the tune with a Flexfuel kit. Even on normal gas the torque dip is gone (e85 is even better!) and of course the sound is awesome!
HIGHLY recommended and not too expensive mod I.m.o.

Do it.

I liked how the Beat-Sonic QBF13 mounted in the car and was easily removable, but I wanted to have the phone mount via a magnet.

I bought the [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-MAGDMB-MagicMount-Magnetic-Devices/dp/B00I608BJ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456576058&sr=8-1"]Scosche MAGDMB MagicMount[/ame], which was pretty much an exact fit for the L bracket mount that comes on the QBF13, so I was easily able to combine them.

Did some things today. Oil change, diff oil change, GT3 brake air guides, OEM mudflaps, installed the RPF1s (thanks @OAKOS Automotive!) and tires and took it for a mini-photoshoot

GT3 air guides for the brakes:




OEM mudflaps:


The mudflaps aren't going to do much to protect the sides of the car or the rear bumper



Mini-photoshoot trip:






Oh and I got ready for autocross (tested magnetic numbers, heh)
