Default All upgrades complete

The TRD side/rear spoilers and front aero spat have been installed. The HPS shortram intake and Invidia axle back exhaust have been installed. The tires were swapped out with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3+.

The exhaust now has a much deeper tone that is very noticeable at lower speeds and engine RPMs. I even notice it when the transmission downshifts as the car slows down. Granted if you want loud exhaust you would need to go with a midpipe upgrade. The new intake and exhaust makes the car slightly more responsive to throttle changes but as I already knew, even if there was a 14HP to 15HP gain it wouldn't be overly noticeable. The larger tires make the car feel more planted.

Now u just need the midpipe. Your car will sound a lot deeper and feel even more responsive.

Sorry, my phone isn't sensitive enough to pick up the exhaust well.

No thanks, just wanted a deeper tone without the drone sound.
