Don’t have the hks but the cusco one, and that was one of the main reasons I installed it. It has eliminated the squeaking and rattling caused by the aluminum bar, but any rear quarter and b pillar plastic trim squeaks obviously won’t go away. But the aluminum bar was squeaking over bumps, and...

In Joe Raiti’s vid, he said 285’s in the rear. Is he mistaken on that, I haven’t seen anything about 285’s for the partially upgraded one (real FE has 285 20’s in rear). The press release that just dropped said matte black 19’s, so they’re either still 275’s or taller sidewall stock with 285’s? ?

I ended up getting under and taking off the right actuator, clicking sport saw that it wasn’t turning properly. Got a flat blade and force turned into open (was like a sudden click), and I pulled fuse and keep it in always open. I think my actuator might have gotten clocking messed up at some...

This is the latest "V3" (unofficial name) cat version with Active's own cats. Word is that they developed and moved to their own cats after GESI cats were becoming a bit inconsistent, but not entirely sure. Have maybe around 200-300 miles on it, hardly broken in. Sounds amaazzzing! But...

I did consider the mid pipes but only after I already swapped back to my FI ? some unexpected family expenses came up and can’t justify paying for resonated mid pipes and swapping back labor. But from sound tests, that does sound good!

Price lowered to 1550

Has the metal trans pan prevented future leaks? Or any leaks elsewhere?

The second shop did catch a leak at least between mid pipe and downpipe, I feel like there might be one between downpipe and turbo as well. But need to get Toyota to replace/fix trans oil pan leak first, then I’ll go back and have the second shop redo the entire downpipe install. The foreman at...

Yeah I think I plan on having everything redone anyways with new gasket and v band, with a different shop this time, and explicitly tell them to ensure gasket is in place and be cognisant of dp to turbo seal. While checking for exhaust leaks, the second shop saw that my transmission pan/bolt is...

Didn’t explicitly confirm with shop but I did see that the gasket was preinstalled on the dp, with a zip tie around the front o2 bung to effectively prevent the gasket from separating during shipping. So I’m assuming gasket was used, I also see the original gasket still on my oem dp. I did go...

Yeah makes sense for the initial few days for sure. But I’m at almost 400 miles on it now.. and it’s definitely exhaust smell and not new component smell. It must still be from a leak then I guess? At this point, I’m just wondering how many people are driving around with exhaust leaks with...

Hmm yeah I’m just not entirely sure if that’s the proper behavior or not. Everyone else keeps saying no smell in cabin, can smell only outside behind car. But for you and me, we can easily and quickly smell it with HVAC set to A

Yeah! It really is an awesome sound and shockingly little drone for how loud the rest of the range is. Without an aftermarket dp I think the non-res touring would be in the sweet spot for a lot of people for sure. If it wasn’t for needing to go back to a valved exhaust for the wife, I would...

Yeah give that a try and see. Try it with HVAC recirculation off (A mode), this should give smell in cabin if what you're experiencing is the same as me. Recirculation on helps mostly, but when decelerating in Sport with loud pops on downshifts, and then coming to a stop, even recirculation on I...

Yeah I was just noticing that today as well, with engine running, or soon after turning off the engine and I sniff sort of near the passenger side cowl where the hood meets the passenger windshield, it smells like exhaust/gas. That’s where the HVAC intake is so makes sense that it gets sucked...

Unfortunately not really. They did find an exhaust leak in the dp to mid pipe connection, and they reduced it (still a small leak they said from the smoke test) but should be a lot better. Still smelling fumes through the vents when coming to a stop with HVAC recirc off, or even with recirc on...
