Endless MX72 brake pads - they don’t grab well on the street, they start to fade very quickly when they get warm, and when I took them to the track they faded hard after the first ~2 laps and ended up destroying my rotors by the end of the day.

I honestly can say I don’t regret anything I’ve done so far…

Wish I would have gone catted instead of catless. Just too obnoxious

Getting a hi flow catted downpipe… be a man go catless

It’s really a waste of money IMO tho just get an armytrix catless if your afraid of a CEL on a stock tune/JB4

Maybe people dont wanna smell like ass every where they go

Good feedback, but that seriously sucks. I think you'll like the PMUs a lot.

So far so good, initial bite on the street is a lot better and they didn’t fade when I was bedding them, which is a noticeable improvement.

It doesn’t smell much at all on these cars i don’t notice it much and even AA catted you still get similar smell.
$300 vs $1400 I just don’t see the point in hi flow cats unless you live in California… which at that point you’re already making poor life choices?

1. I was disappointed in the JB4. I didn't really notice much difference in performance even with a custom tune. I mostly stopped driving the car on the street anyway, so I just took the thing off and sold it. My car is basically track duty only so a JB4 isn't really appropriate.
2. I had a DP with HF cat on it to hopefully alleviate some heat/stress during track days. I couldn't stand the occasional CEL (my anti-fouler mostly worked) and the class I run doesn't allow it.. so that's gone.

I can echo this to some degree. On 93 + custom tune, there is some improvement but it isn’t life altering. However, Eblend + custom tune is a very very different story. In hindsight, Id regret the 93 custom tune.

JB4. Should have went straight to unlock and a tuning platform. I'm there now and realize the JB4 was a waste... for where I ultimately wanted to go. That said, not everyone can go straight to a femto unlock and a JB4 may be appropriate for them. In that regard, perfectly fine.

All these catless downpipes even be stinking up the highway if you’re behind one, man makes me close the vents and windows real quick just don’t think smell is worth it for an extra 5-10 hp but to each their own

I also bought those POS add-on paddles. Also in the garbage.

Nothing at all...I planned out and took the time with the things I have done to it.

I bought the JB+ for cheap fun, which was the placeholder until I was able to actually tune the car.

I am now waiting to see what new OEM or quality forged and light aftermarket wheels will be coming out, and also waiting to see if a new OEM high wing or OEM big front brakes will be released before updating any of those.

Next up, I will upgrade the transmission and axles before I mess with a bigger turbo/intake manifold - that way I know I have the "infrastructure" to support the updated power.

I agree - If my car was my daily driver and not a toy - I would leave my catalytic converter on it just so I don't smell like I have been riding a motorcycle all day.
