The Apex can looks great. I'm sure if I didn't have my elite that is what I would go for.

Loving them. Had a couple instances where I got stuck in traffic for an hour or so and the Recaros were more than comfortable enough. If anything I'd say they're more comfortable than the OEM seats. Definitely glad I decided to get them.

Oh - and guess who's allowed to go above 4,000 RPMs......

This guy!

Ignore the fact that the bracket is backwards in that last pic. Took the photo and then realized what I did. Lol
Looks great! Glad we could be a part of your build.

Thank you. Our goal was to build a high quality catch can the looked and functioned great. The Elite is a great can.

Of course Chase!

And when I've saved up enough I'll be buying another set of Racing Brake rotors from you too. Nothing makes a car feel faster than losing 25 pounds of unsprung weight!

Yeah that "kit" weighs about 5 lbs. Took mine out when I changed to the Braille battery.

Did I start all this obsession with weight reduction? lol

I question the logic of that flat tire kit. I haven't run a spare in my personal car in almost 20 years. Only once did I regret not having it.

Legally, cars have to come with a spare tire or a tire inflation kit.

Found The SS' Easter egg today.



While its cute, I'd still prefer having a Camaro as the image.

But nothing besides that
That was my thinking too. I did the thorrtle body and intake (WELL WORTH IT!) but now I want to make it loud. Like long tube headers loud

Installed my black chrome splitter washer guards this afternoon - I scraped it about a week ago pulling into a parking lot. These things are definitely worth the 5 ounces they add.

Checked my Apex catch can for the first time - this is after about 900 miles - need to pour it out and measure how much it caught. But from the looks of it, I did a pretty good job of seating my rings
