Speaking of the headunit, is that a direct plug & play exchange with the non-touch screen unit? |

First thing I did was get wider wheels. The stock wheels look like trash to me,plus,I don't like how easy it is to break the rear end loose. Got a Raceseng Ashiko weighted shift knob. I LOVE this thing. going from stock to a good weighted shift knob makes going through the gears a joy. I can't even imagine if/when I put a Kartboy short throw shifter in with it. More cosmetic,but I added a TRD style trunk spoiler. I think without a spoiler or lip,the cars back end looks incomplete. Recently got a HKS Hi Power spec II catback exhaust and a Grimmspeed CAI. Butt dyno feels a definite reduction in the torque dip,plus the sound of the exhaust isn't obnoxious. Other stuff is tints,carbon fiber roof wrap,and smoked Valenti tail lights. I'm not going for show car,nor track car. I just wanted something more than stock that's a little more fun to drive and is looks more interesting than stock. Probably the last things that I'll do is the aforementioned short shifter and headers & tune. |

Ultimately I would like to at least reduce the torque dip (it honestly doesn’t even bother me that much), and add a nicer exhaust note in the process. Stock it’s just too quiet. But I don’t want anything obnoxious or with drone. So I planned on just getting the TRD catback and leaving the rest alone. I also have the TRD intake (I know I know it doesn’t add any power), but at least I can hear some induction noise. And of course I ditched the sound tube a long time ago.

I’m interested for sure! I will send you a PM. And my stock exhaust is in great condition. My FRS has been a California and Texas car, so no salt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I didn’t like the way the sound tube sounded. I know it’s real induction noise, not fake like some cars. It just sounded weird. The TRD intake sounds good, but not too loud. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

A lot of us don’t like the sound tube. I think the twins’ version was just not done well. The diaphragm that gets excited by the intake resonance is plastic, and the tube going to the firewall is too long and too small in diameter to allow lower frequencies to travel through it efficiently. This is BMW’s version from the 2006 Z4: The diaphragm is metallic, excites way better. The tube is fat and short. This thing sounds glorious. It howls.

Yeah the version used on the FRS/BRZ just has a weird resonance, I can see what they were going for. I would always prefer to just hear the intake. Actually, the F20 or F22 with ITB’s beats pretty much anything. Why can’t we have an engine like that in the twins?! (I know, it could never pass current emissions)
