Bought a used HKS header and had it powder coated, and installed Professional Awesome splitter rods on my Verus splitter.
I haven’t been stage 2 since 2018, and this setup (HKs EL header + stock OP/FP + Perrin 2.5” catback) is so much more quiet than my last setup (RevWorks UEL header + Nameless downpipe + Greddy Supreme SP catback), people are 100% right when they say an aftermarket front pipe is a real noise maker. |

I got the mount from Checkered Sports https://www.checkerdsports.com/colle...mount-atx20-rs The wiring fittings are from Antigravity, but I purchased them through Checkered Sports with the mount. https://www.checkerdsports.com/produ...pr_seq=uniform The mounting position is decent. I drilled holes in the body and used self-tapping screws. The screws in the front are into some bracket with good thick metal. The screws in the back are in pretty thin sheet metal. Being as the whole assembly is pretty light, I think it'll be just fine. I also put a couple strips of thin weather stripping under the battery to act as a cushion, plus the mount from Checkered Sports was a tiny bit taller then the battery. |

Well it left me stranded on the side of the highway yesterday. Gave it a new alternator and it was appeased.

So I didn't do something to MY car, but I did do something to lots of other folks' cars by turning my personal "BRZ cubby switch panel" project into an, "Ok fine, I'll 3D-print a few for some local folks" project, which then became an, "Ok fine, I'll sell them to other folks too through my blog" project, which then became a, "Whoa, I'm selling so many of these I should make a dedicated site for them project!"
And I got a new camera for Christmas, and decided to mess around with it by making a video that shows how I make them, and I just wanna share because I think it came out pretty well given I'm not a professional movie maker, lol.

Been a long time since I last posted, but I’ve been an active lurker for years. After 7.5 years of ownership and 131,000 miles, I sold my 2015 BRZ today. Really appreciate the great community here and the many extremely helpful DIY guides!

May have just ruined the handling! But seriously, now no worries if the car sits for a couple of weeks.
