| Not Ranked : 0 score Why that kit? JBR pipes and Treadstone TR8 core can be had for <$700 and will perform just as well if not better, will definitely fit better, and like mentioned is much cheaper. Just wondering why you chose to go with that kit.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Gotcha. I was just curious, wasn't bashing or anything. But, IMO, it would just be a waste of money if all you wanted was something different. If different is your cup of tea then I would wait for some under the engine routed intercooler pipes (a couple companies have them in development currently) and still with a TR8 core. But, if you like saving money and want the probably the best performing kit for our cars then JBR pipes and TR8 is definitely where it's at.

| Not Ranked : 0 score FullRace FMIC is insanely expensive... IMO, If you are still on the stock KO4 then I'd go for an upgraded TMIC.

| Not Ranked : 0 score For my car which is a daily driver...Yeah, in traffic it gets heat soaked but you're not going anywhere fast anyways. Once you get moving it cools down faster than you think.
