How do you like the DES system, did you consider any other exhaust before buying it? I went for drive today with someone who has a JoeZ, ported manifold and intake and it sounds awesome, not sure I could have it for a daily driver though as I am in the car all day every day.

Are your coilovers set at factory settings? Is that 2 or 3 top and bottom?
Your car is a work of art and a lot of my inspiration in getting an ISF

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words. I've had the car since May of 09, so I have had plenty of time to mod the car. I know what you mean, the reflector bothered me too.

My coilovers are at factory settings but I am not sure if it is 2 or 3. I would have to check. For the exhaust its the QES race version. It's louder than the DES but would not have changed my mind if I could have re-bought my exhaust. I absolutely love it. I bought it straight from ISS Forged direct.

I think the Apexi throttle control is worth getting! There are two different modes I like using: the "red" or "yellow" mode. When you are on manual mode, sport mode, and have the throttle controller on yellow or red, the feeling you get when you step on the pedal is unbelievably. Its becomes very aggressive and the pedal will feel different! Just be prepared to have bad gas mileage when you are using it

I've decided to take a different route as I can't get the CV7 in the colour I want as there on backorder.

So is the Apexi throttle control similar to a sprInt booster?http://www.sprintboostersales.com/de...S-F&engine=Gas

Matte Silver only. I've seen a couple customers get them polished through an outside source.

That must be an error on their site if that's where you saw that $200 for shipping alone. I also got mine from Clark @ Vip and total shipped was like $260 or something like that.
