Almost none. After 5th gear the car actually sounds as quiet as stock! It's only loud when you get on it which is what I need on a daily driver.

RSR springs and wheels spacers installed

So I finally had the time to get my RSR springs installed as well as some hubcentric 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm spacers in the rear. The car sits about 1.5" lower and the front is now level with the rear. As far as the ride goes, it's slightly more firm than stock but a lot less body roll and the car feels more planted. I normally drive in Sport + mode everywhere and I can hardly tell a difference. I'm used to having expensive fully adjustable coilovers but so far I am pleasantly surprised with the ride quality. The car goes back in this week for a good alignment!

I also forced myself to get up at 6:30 this morning to go to the Aliso Viejo Cars and Coffee (Temporary replacement location from the infamous Irvine Cars and Coffee). Here's a few pictures with my buddies cars. An '15 Mercedes S63 AMG, '09 BMW E92 M3, '13 C63 Black Series, '10 BMW E90 M3, '15 Nissan GTR, '02 Porsche Turbo, and my '15 RC.






I also happen to come across Road Race Engineering's RC 350 test mule. It's not pretty but they seem to be doing all sorts of track testing.

Here's a quick video of the exhaust. It's off my iPhone so the quality is terrible but it'll do for now until I have time to get a go pro video together.

Exhaust sounds beastly smooth. Is your setup essentially stock resonators with piping to exhaust tips?

The only change to the exhaust is the axleback. We made a whole new one that consisted of no mufflers and then quad tips. I absolutely love this exhaust! My buddy is considering making more of them

Came across this Scuderia the other day and I really like the paint scheme, wheels and brakes. Hmmmmm...
