I went with BC w/swift upgrade (16K/12K).

Ride is as good as it was with swift springs (front only) on stock struts - which was very close to stock ride.

Handling wise, I notice slightly better turn in and it absorbs mid corner bumps better than before. I have not pushed it super hard since I have been dialing in the ride height, before I get an alignment.

LED fogs, and hardwire for my dash cam today. I did a CF roof spoiler a few weeks ago.

RR Racing tuned intake, tune, titanium elbow, and AOS. OH and I finally got a black engine cover and was able to take off my ugly silver one. Engine bay looks so much cleaner, and this thing sounds beastly.

Thanks Josh @ Meraki

What's making it sound "beastly" now?! Do the tune/tuned intake/elbow all at the same time? Noticed a big difference? Headers or no?!
And the black engine cover looks good! Bet you're popping the hood much more often now huh?!!

I have PPE headers + a Joe Z exhaust. The tuned intake made a huge sound difference.
I went from Joe Z elbow / stock box to this.

Yea, I love this setup + the black cover and even the crank case vent sticking out from behind the cover in the back. Engine bay looks perfect now.

I've been noticing the power slowly creep up. I wasn't very happy with the gains for the first 2 miles, but the writeups clearly state you need to give it 50-100 miles of hard driving or more and that's definitely the case. After ~70 miles the power is MUCH more noticeable. I'll give it another couple hundred miles to fully learn before I make my final decision, the power band today on my way to work was awesome

You going to do a dyno with the new intake? Or did you already do it and I missed it somewhere?

I need to and want to, hard to find the time and a place I trust. I never dyno'd it before with any of my mods but am still curious now.
