Thank you.

What's your feedback in terms of the VRSF 3.5" catless downpipe & BMS Intake. I've pretty much done with visual modifications and have been thinking for performance for next year. Do those cause any issues? like in terms of the car running or "Check engine warnings"?

Thanks! I agree, really adds a nice touch and creates a lowered/aggressive look.

I did the muffler delete at first, and it sounded good, slight droning at times.. When I added the downpipe and intake it took it to another level in terms of sounding great. No issues,and the tune eliminates any CEL's or errors. No issues- so far so good!

Hey wthomas0187, are SMOG checks required over there in Charlotte? If yes...does the DP/tune get flagged?

Here in SoCal...I've been debating whether to risk that.

I haven't gotten it inspected in CLT yet, Its still registered to my dad in VA, but I'm getting everything switched over to NC these Holidays and will have to get back to you. I was told that everything would pass easily, but I guess you never know.

With all the mods you have I think it'll look amazing!
It really sets it off and it also makes the car seem lower for some reason.
That and the skirts.

Very nice build! love how you put it all together and that fact you added side skirts is a plus for me! the wheels have some nice concavity to them and the diffuser is BEAST! what's next...roof spoiler?

Looks good! love the black and white combo...

I know its a matter of opinion, but i like the clean/subtle lines of the f10. So I vote no on the roof spoiler

what do you have planned for power mods?

Thanks man!
Curva 300- Pretty similar to Forgestar F14's

I'll probably look into a diff stage tune, and that'll probably be it since its a 535 and cant squeeze but so much out of it.
