That's weight reduction of a very particular type, where the weight is a component of the power-train and not just sitting on the suspension. But yes, unsprung weight reduction is a valid power mod.
However, everything is open to compromise, and I'm keeping my big rotors.

Pretty sure a set of 18" Enkei RPF1 would make me smile, at only 17 and 19 lbs staggered, with fitment over the BBK and the ability to simply swap my PSS tires. I just can't get over the blandness.
Like I said earlier... compromises.
3 months? LOL That's nothing. Barely a tick on the clock. What's the rush?

It's been a few weeks with the RHFC on the OEM cat-back... any new impressions you'd like to share, OP?

Wow this thread is an eye opener. The factory claims 330 HP and 270 Torque at the flywheel. 255/220 at the rear wheels is horrible in my opinion. I know that's about a 22% drive train loss but it seems high. I would think they would be more efficient. Must be the weight and gearing.

I did install a mesh grille yesterday, will upload pics tonight.
As for the RHFC, I have to call dyno to make appointment. Hopefully on thursday. Sorry for the delay.

No apologies necessary, you're under no obligation just because of a forum thread.
It wasn't so much "gains" that I'm initially interested in, because that will all come together eventually when the intake+cats+cbe+tune reaches the end-game. My question was more focused on the sound of FI's RHFC when mated to the OEM cat-back. You were underwhelmed, and I was wondering if that opinion has more nuance (good word) now that you've driven it for a few weeks.
But if you haven't been driving the car, then that's it, I suppose. In for the dyno.

Idk if its me, but after initial install, I was about to buy an exhaust ASAP (since I was a bit dissapointed), but now I feel more calm, so I guess it is a bit louder now.
lol will do, but it will be with the RHFC. the filters are more exposed so I guess that would help for about 1hp? lol
No prob, but i dont like to break my word

So all that in context... YAY! I'm back on track to looking forward to this mod.
Thanks, Alfredo.
