man, i would love to have a titanium exhaust that is quiet like that. the more I've been driving lately, the more I've been happy with the stock exhaust at wide open throttle. i can't imagine doing a 180 and just being super loud. i envy this car so much. keep up the good work man.
Thanks for the kind words!

Just my observation though, car feels like it regained some low end torque, switching from the meisterschaft. It could be just me though, but it feels like car is more responsive to abrupt throttle inputs, and pulls harder. I THINK mingofish also noticed some low end torque loss with the meisterschaft compared to stock, too. I like the sound, I had icode on my ISF too and loved it. I do miss the aggressive sound of the meisterschaft though.

Yeah it's catted, which is good! Sets me up for long tube headers (which LEMS/iCode will be making too, in titanium!)

although i know if we could get a personal tune after bolt ons to fix the torque loss, nothing is available as of yet.
btw, do you have long tubes? if not , do you intend to?

that's not good to hear. which part of the meisterschaft system do you think causes the low end torque loss? i ordered the mid pipe, the only piece that will give the car more power but I'm thinking of getting the matching axle back because i hate oem piping on the rear axle back. honestly, if the rear axle back had normal rounded 2.25/2.5 piping, i would keep oem axle back since i like the look.

It could also be that I just drove less aggressively with the loud exhaust because it was REALLY LOUD and didn't want unwanted attention from the local LE. I must say, it's easier to drive aggressively with a quiet exhaust.
No headers yet, but yes, that is in the future

Lead Lap
That is probably most likely. I don't even have the full exhaust and my foot gets really light if I see a cop. If my exhaust was loud enough to hear from 1-2 miles away I would likely not mash the pedal very often at all. I like my car getting attention, but not that kind of attention.

Made a template for rear 'mudflaps'. I will get some ABS plastic material for the final pieces. They'll be held in place by the stock plastic clips holding the the fender liner. These will hopefully minimize gravel and rocks from collecting under the rear bumper.

Pole Position
Recently saw a picture of someones bumpers and the sides look like they were sand blasted.
P.S. This is a great idea! Good luck!

Since our cars accelerate quickly it might be wise to widen the flap a little bit outwards so that gravel doesn't get shot out and damage the rear-side bumpers.
