Nice code Brown!

Is this the first of the Mod threads for a car you won't be modding?

No modding for this car. Only TSB and safety requirements

It is safety by reducing the weight and improving the handling and braking? or is this the same theory that Harley owners use, loud and noticed?

I am tempted to get the RSS bypass, but will likely get a custom exhaust for my car. Congrats on the purchase, it is a nice upgrade.
