Thanks, surprisingly noticeable difference. Did you just have something fab'd up or does CNT make a swappable section?

Yeah, alot of people don't like them, but as someone who ran on the track with only front aero.....it made the car a handful.

My biased vote would be for the Aeromotions wing as you can get it in different heights, and it has a clean look to it:

Front splitter is off in this picture as it was getting repaired (don't judge me!)

I had a muffler shop weld in an x-pipe. The difference is really noticable especially in the cabin. To me it didn't have any character, now It sounds great.

The one thing I wans't expecting is how much quieter it made the exhaust.

It's a custom-made one my friend and I spent time on back in 2015, then we eventually trimmed it back due it being over kill. It was about 4 inches extended from the already lipped Stillen bumper, but now its about 2 and some change inches. It's an aluminum sheet that is cut into more of a "half splitter" (meaning it only goes on the underside of the bumper, not the full under-tray). The rods are connected to the factory crash bar, so while it's not perfect, it is more than safe and not coming off at speed. I plan on getting the honeycomb carbon and cutting out a revised design that will replace the tray and have a service port. The dive planes were more of a joke as I took My friend's daughter's scissors and free-handed the template out of cardboard.

those no longer exist as i totally F-ed them up pulling into the garage one day.

Side note, I hate installing vinyl. Easily the most frustrating install i've done on the car.

Did the Velox diffuser make any difference. I have one sitting in a box I have not installed.

Good question. I had it installed before I put the wing on. Unfortunatley I did not do a track day with JUST the diffuser (the wing came shortly after) but I did notice better braking stability. As far as pure downforce, nothing comes close to that wing.

It's a good addon if you have the split-style cat back or single (Motordyne, Fast Intentions, HKS, Tomei) because you do not get air trapped in that area behind the rear bumper cover. The company is now Verus Engineering, and it should be noted, I had to do some modification to get that to fit my Motordyne exhaust (3 inch piping).

If you have the cross style exhaust like the Invidia Gemini, or Amuse R1, I don't see it making substantial improvements.

Hey Bobby, how did they take care of the gap between the bumper and splitter in the very front of the grill on your's? Have any pic's?

I left the gap and I used some spacer to help support the bumper. I think the gap helps with air flow as well.
