I just installed the Berk Muffler Delete. Just looking at my weight saving I should be around 45-50 pounds less then stock right now. My goal for the next 6-12 months will be to shave off a total of 100-150 pounds. My plan is to remove the spare tire and replace it with a can of fix-a-flat, 1 or 2 Recaro or Bride seats and possibly shave a few pounds with coilovers.
Just getting to 100lbs will be amazing. I'm currently stuck at about 50lbs weight loss just from aftermarket wheels and the spare removed. The car doesn't come with a lot of fluff from the factory.

Let us know what the car feels like once you hit that 100lbs mark. :happy0180:

I did notice at speed the noise has been slightly reduced. As for the aero/drag I couldn't tell the difference. With the underbody panels and Berk muffler delete, i'm probably around what a stock USDM FRS/BRZ is at since the muffler delete adds some drag.


Forgot to mention I also got titanium shims for the front brakes. Now I need to buy some temp strips to see if they actually keep temps lower on the caliper

Same day I came back to a huge package. It was the JDM Subaru/Toyota underpanel set. Here is a picture with it installed on the left side to show a comparison.

[/QUOTE]

Any noticeable difference with these? How much you paid for them if you dont mind me asking? I was thinking of having them but didnt know that somebody's selling the panels pre-made.
Thanks.

Tires are stock 215. I'm going to buy the new Dunlop Direzza ZII when these tires are worn out. I will go 225. Yeah i'm not using the spacers anymore. I keep the spacer in my trunk since the spare tire will fit with it.

$300 in a group buy through Japanparts.com I honestly don't "feel" the difference. At high speeds I do "hear" the difference, which is slightly quieter. I haven't noticed any MPG differences since my driving is very inconsistent. Best thing about them is the protection you get.

It came out to be about $300 with the group buy. It should be cheaper now since the yen to dollar has gotten better.

Got the Perrin overpipe and Perrin front HFC from member DSOmegaX. Thanks! I'll hopefully install it tonight.

This week I picked up 4 Esco Jack Stands. Pricey but high quality and ill probably never have to buy jack stands ever again.

I haven't notice any difference between the 7 inch OEM vs my 8 RPF1
