This just went up. Haven’t watched full video but the sound clip at the beginning sure sounds promising

I have watched a lot of the Obsessed Garage videos on the GT4.
Many of his videos are interesting.
They cover everything from him taking delivery, Highly-Detailing It, then his drives in it, then him doing the changes/modifications to it and there are quite a few of those as well as him trying lots of exhaust options.
Worth checking into guys.

Sound quality above 5000rpm was AMAZING and very loud. Sound between 2000 and 4000rpms was very drony. It was too much for me, for my neighbors and for my wife.
I also felt a significant torque improvement across the rpms.
In your shoes I would start with Soul OPF delete + Soul valved Xpipe exhaust + Valve controler

I’ve tried a different set up on my Spyder, stock headers + Akra OPF delete + JCR non silenced race exhaust.

pro's and con's of a particular modification... YMMV
The only reason I would deviate from this approach would be cost optimization of the changes... e.g if I was replacing a clutch I would probably do a LWFW and LSD change at the same time
due to the cost of R&R of the transmission.

I'd recommend a "one change at a time" approach - change 1 variable and then evaluate the effects of that change ... its more of an experimental approach that allows the observer to isolate the

I second your one-piece at a time approach. Have had the Soul OPF Delete pipes on for about 1000 miles and am completely satisfied. I won't be doing any other modifications.
The stock PSE programming doesn't bother me -- if I'm just running around town or en route to the hills valves closed below 3800 is perfect.
I think you'll find the range above 3800 quite satisfying, above 6000 it's quite spine tingling.

If there's one thing I didn't like about the GT4 is the sound, its just a bit whiny. So, after doing research and picking the best in the industry, I had these installed on Dec 30th and managed to put about 250 mountain carving spirited miles on the car and just WOW!!! At startup, you can just hear the difference, gotta be 30-40% louder and once you hit about 4k+ rpm, this car sounds SO DAMN GLORIOUS!!!!, its is the icing on the cake. Its so much deeper/richer with sound now, its now crackling/popping and making sounds it didn't before, so it released something within the beast. And i'm not sure if its my mind playing tricks, but i swear it has increased the torque by 10-20, because the car feels faster, just has that extra little punch.

We hope to start round two of development on the catted headers in about 2-3 weeks : )
