Today I ordered Fister mufflers (modified side-mufflers, no change to the center PSE w/valves). I searched this forum and only heard clips of them on 3.4 non-PSE cars (mine is 3.8 w/PSE & Soul Headers) but willing to give them a try.

@GTS99ONE Sorry to hear about your flat. Curious to know how it went with that Porsche tire sealant. Doesn't look good.

Pretty much a disaster. In all honestly, my tire pressure dropped rapidly and I pulled over as quickly as I could. I had remembered seeing the goop in the frunk when checking over the car after I bought it. Took it out…zero instructions. Opened the manual, couldn’t quickly find it, so did a quick YouTube search to see how to put in the tire after removing the valve. Stuff did not go in easily and unfortunately sprayed out with the little amount of air left in the tire. Complete mess. Ended up calling 1-800 PORSCHE which is what the dealer told me I should have done from the start. I’ve had much better luck with the aerosolized fix a flat product with other cars. This stuff has to be squeezed in manually and the tire has to be completely empty of air or it shoots back out at you.
@GTS99ONE Ugh. That's awful. Makes me want to just throw that thing out and not even try if I were to get a flat.

Anybody had any luck with commercial stuff like Fix A Flat or Slime?

Did you have the dealer do it? I'm looking at the Suncoast PSE kit for my 2012 CS Cab. My car is loaded with everything but PSE. The dealer even implied that the lines that run to the valves should all ready be there. Was that your situation or did you have to run all the lines/electrical from the back of the car to the switch panel?

Acura OEM Tire Sealant and Inflator
Turns out its just an all-in-one design that automatically adds the fix-a-flat during inflation. I noticed residue on the valve stem once the tire was at the correct psi but didn't think anything of it. It was late at night and wanted to get get back on my way. Looking at it again, it does have a manual switch where you can turn off the flow and just use air, but by default it shoots it in there.

Ordered a set of Blackmill wind deflectors from Soul. They're unanimously the best for function over form, and the easiest install/removal. My son always wants to ride in the car with the windows down (loves hearing the exhaust in the tunnel passes), but the wind buffeting is unbearable at higher speeds. Haven't tracked the car, but seems like it's a must-have for that as well.
