Excellent. Are the Performance Seats on the list of things to do?

every update only makes me like your car more. i appreciate how thought out everything is with this car.

Call dinan and get a CARB decal for your intake tube. The tube ( not the full intake system) is 50 state legal and will help you smog without having to remove.

Ahh yeah the 550 kit isn't an insane gain, but still quite noteworthy. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of staying NA seeing how I went with an E93. Quite honestly, having an E93 has some serious speed setbacks, but IMO it makes up for it dropping the top 90% of the year in SoCal. I'm more concerned about freeway speed than track times so the minor suspension loss isn't a big deal for me.

You seem to have the NA game pretty figured out. Do you think high flow cats and a muffler delete would be too much? I chopped the mufflers because #1 I saved almost 50lbs and #2 it sounds absolutely amazing. I'm worried the high flow cats would make it sound pretty raspy.

Any input would be great

Yes, add mufflers back if you want to remove the cats. It won't be super raspy but very, very loud. Rasp is controlled via the resonators, not cats. Muffler delete sounds amazing alone by itself.

I have a Challenge sport X-Pipe (removes primary cats and uses 100 CEL secondary cats) and GTS exhaust. Its aggressive without being overly so.

Of course it made the car quicker on the straights, but you will be forced to become a better driver now that it is gone
