Once I added the headers and x-pipe however, the sound changed quite a bit and I think exposed the limitations of the Fister modification. On accel it sounded wonderful but on decel it sounded and felt like the mufflers couldn't keep up with the rest of the system.
Now is a different story. The car sounds the way it was intended, the decel gargle/down shift blips sound amazing, and it also feels like I got some low end back under 2,500 rpms. Another trade off is that the mufflers dropped 12 lbs off the rear end. Not bad!

1st Track Day of the year!
Headed down to Pacific Raceways with ProFormance Racing School for a lapping day. After all of the work put into the car this year it was awesome to finally be able to put it through its paces and shake it down. Had a blast!
Upgraded Brakes: They didn't fade at all. The RS29s have some serious bite. I'm still not confident enough to brake as late as they will actually allow but will work on it.
Nitto NT01s: Handled amazingly. Was able to really get the pressures dialed in throughout the day but couldn't get them up to temp on the cold spring day. Temps show I need to actually drop camber front and rear. These are better than me.
Seats/Harnesses:Perfect.
Exhaust:Perfect.
Seats/Harnesses:Perfect.
Shifter:Perfect.
A friend showed me some awesome 360° videos and thought it'd be pretty cool to capture what it's like in the driver's seat. Here's my first attempt!
For 360° Effect - watch in YouTube App on iOS or Android, or Chrome on a computer. Move your phone or click into the video to move the viewpoint!
Here's how the exhaust sounds at full throttle. Really, really happy with it!
