Funny. I enjoyed the sound of the Ti exhaust, but I actually prefer the stock exhaust because I can drive more assertively without drawing attention to myself.

I may have gone a bit overboard, but this is how I like to test parts.

Just how I have two headers to determine what works best for me...

This is why CSG Mike needs a "gofundme" page. Everyone can chip in 5 bucks, and then we can receive unbiased results found on the street and TRACK, on a bunch of products.

Yes I am only joking, or...........................

Mike, since you've tracked all the years of BRZ, do you feel like the '17 wing adds an actual aero benefit over the '13-16 spoiler, or is it just there to look cool?

I'm (100%) sure it has a beneficial effect, but in the form of drag reduction. Nothing my butt dyno can feel on track.
