Installed red Valentis and went for a drive.

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about them yet though. I bought the red lights for my Dark Gray Mettalic BRZ without seeing any installed pictures.

Got my Perrin Rear Shifter bushing, Whiteline positive shift, and MTEC springs installed. As well as an oil change. Roads are still crappy here so I have no feedback on the parts yet. But the mtec springs really seem to help snap back the shifter.

Get about 100-200 miles under your belt with those bushings & I think you'll realize the improvement. The Mtec springs really are great (I have them too) & the best bang-for-buck shift mod out there. So much improvement for only $30.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

J2 exhaust. Somehow preferred the exhaust note of this compared to my original choice of the Q300 after months of searching before I even bought my BRZ.

For the price, it's decent. Overall 6/10 for sound, fitment, quality.

Fitment is pretty poor. Had to readjust it a few times. Will take it to an exhaust shop to straighten it out and fix the hangers.

It doesn't sound too loud outside of the car, but in the cabin, wub wub wub wub wub wub. Minimal sound deadening I'm assuming.

And I just like the quad tips.

no they were from led underunderbody.com. They match perfectly with the interior lights however it has a remote controller so it wouldn't turn on with the headlights even when i tapped them for power. i had to open the controller module and figure out how i can bypass the remote control which i finally did. overall it was worth the $50. Their costumer service is horrible!

Takes 5 mins to line up the tabs and install.

Super easy.

Here's the video of the mounts. You can see how easy it is to take it out and put it back.

Here's the linky for the products.

I just went to 86CUP track event at Chuckwalla Raceway this last Saturday. It worked really well.

Got to monitor all the key temps.
