Looks pretty sweet!

What happened to the requirement to run cats for your class?

That sir, is what you would be able to spot with a keen eye. Two 100 cell high flow cats built into the cat-back.

Splitter is complete! Well..structurally anyway. Still have to complete the air dam and then paint everything.

looks great! can you adjust the height at all? may need to once you figure out how it holds up under load - ie under max body roll will the splitter travel more than the gap you've set up?

what spring rates are you running again?

Looks insane. I like how the NISMO Spoiler looks without the NISMO Rear Fascia too. Car looks great Mike.

Couldn't tell if they were resonators or cats from the picture. Nice, car must sound awesome!

The splitter looks the part, interested to see how the ground clearance works out on track.

You should make a template and send it to APR to make a carbon fiber one for all to buy. That's one of the things I like about APR. They will make a custom for not much more than there standered ones.

I am on 12k/10k but about to start playing around with those. The splitter is actually tucked all the way up to the bumper right now. Sits a tad higher than my old SEIBON lip but still sits low. If it has clearance issues then the next step would be cutting the bumper so I could move it up more. Also going to be raising the ride height a bit before the Tuner Shootout which should help. Like I said though, in reality, in the back corners it only sits about 1/2" lower than the lowest part of the factory bumper.

I would but its a pretty custom mounting devise designed specifically around my car to fit with the AEM intakes, go around my oil cooler ducting, it wouldn't work with a car that had a washer fluid bottle, etc. Not a great consumer product as you would have to have my exact setup.

It's finally done! Its no show piece up close but it certainly gets the job done. It can support my full weight (~180 lbs.) and it has been tested up to 120mph. Looks cool from a few feet away. After the Modified Tuner Shootout this weekend I will likely re-do the air dam and add some wheel spats to block the front tires from the airstream. Maybe take the time to round out the leading edge with a sander too.

Ah so that was the silver streak I saw blur through North Vegas today :)

Probably! My vinyl guys are out at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. You in town for NHRA?
