The butt dyno feels a smoother torque dip and it seems a lot more rev happy. The most restrictive parts were the front pipe and the overpipe. It all went from I think 2.1997 inch piping(don't quote me on that), to 2.5. I'm now debating if I even want headers because I got the sound I want and I don't wanna drop $1k on a good set. We'll see. I'll get some pictures up later. The 4 inch tips really full out the exhaust cutouts in the diffuser and they look much better. I'm very happy with the exhaust and I can't wait to hook up to unichip to get the most I can out of the system.
Awesome to hear this!

Well I haven't updated this for 5 months. A lot has happened since then, but not necessarily having to do with mods. I have some warranty stuff to work out, but then hopefully I will be modding more.

Got some pics taken a few months ago while I was still in Nebraska.

I still have not put the camber kit on, but that will be done after my axle is taken care of. Soon, I will FINALLY get some tint put on.

This is what the car looked like 2 days after getting springs installed a few months ago. I still love how it rides, as do the others that have this car. It feels like stock while cruising, but you can definitely tell how much they help in corners. I think the drop is perfect.

I will get a video posted soon of my exhaust sound. I love how it sounds. Even after this long of having it on, it's still my favorite exhaust I've heard on these cars.

I am waiting to hear back from Scion of America about my axle clicking sounds, crickets, rattles, and transmission grinding.

Soon I will be ordering a Grimspeed Strut Tower Bar, MTEC shifter springs, the BRZ trunk lid liner, and a Beatrush red reverse lockout lever. I have my custom WC Lathe Werks shift knob coming in the mail this week.

Red Valenti taillights are also in my future. I would love boost, but I need my warranty as you all can see with the problems I've been having. Hopefully it all gets taken care of.

As for rims, I'm still waiting on what to get. There are so many good options out there, but I want to save up for what I truly want rather than settle. I'll probably do 18's. My top choices are Work Kiwamis, 57xtremes, BBS LM's, CCW Classics, or Enkei RSF5's.

The CR colored Valentis have been ordered and should be here at the end of the month. I have a few other goodies I'm waiting to order for Black Friday sales. Tint should go on soon also. Trunk liner came in and I'll post a pic of that when it's installed. The OEM armrest has been sitting in my closet since March but that should be installed soon also. Slowly but surely it's getting there.

WC Lathe Werks 2.1" white copolymer custom shift knob with 2 small rings around the bottom. Will soon be complimented with a Beatrush red reverse lockout lever. Go Huskers!

Finally received and installed this gem. Boy does it make a huge difference in how "nice" the car looks when the trunk is opened. Be happy, BRZ people. Also, it's thicker than I thought it would be so maybe it'll help a little with reverb from the license late.
