I'm guessing this is your guy?

Nah thats not his ebay page. there are others by now replicating this rear diffuser. i know i saw one from Cali. one from PR. and two from DR. but that looks good as well. dont know about the fitment. although they state perfect fitment. because mine wasnt perfect. had a few gaps which i'll address later on with silicone and try to get it to sit flush.

Soooo. I was looking to upgrade the headers on my 2011 however, I'm a little gun shy due to the different "issues" I've read about with this upgrade, i.e. too loud, exhaust/fuel smell, emissions etc. Is the upgrade really worth it? Looks like it'll cost between 2700-3400 installed depending on which headers I go with (Sikky or PPE). I just upgraded the exhaust to the Greddy full Ti kit and it sounds great but, I think it'll sound like a MONSTER with some headers. Just thought I'd ask the experts. Apologies if there is already a thread on this.

Headers are worth it.. If you don't want the gas smell, get high flow cats.

Headers through us and installed is around $2k.. (PPE)

Doesn't seem like there's a universal exhaust discussion thread but the options appear to be exploding lately between the potential Greddy SS and now an Apexi!

it seems like the Apexi is the best bang for your buck. but i don't see their exhaust being produced for the ISF. only for the GSF, and RCF. and you're correct maybe someone should start a Universal Exhaust Thread for all V8 F models. that should blow up pretty quick. and maybe throw in custom exhaust as well. this is good for Members, private parts makers and as well as production companies for all exhaust products.

I'd have to say that the DCTMS steering wheel has been one of my favorite mods.

That's correct Arkym diffuser . The axle back is custom to the borla mid pipe.
ebay seller is using my picture but my diffuser is carbon fiber.
