J3STER'S Car Journal

So decided it was time to start my own journal and share my adventures and experiences with the Car. Hopefully it will be enjoyed by you guys and I will try to share everything be it good or bad.

Thread will be updated as constantly as possible but might have breaks in between since school takes me away for months at a time. That being said let's get started.

This is the car completely stock after being picked up from the dealership and driving it for a few days.

I felt even though the car looks aggressive there was room for improvement in the looks department.

Carbon Fiber spoiler installed, super simple process, fishing line to remove the old spoiler and then cleaned the whole trunk plus a clay bar. After it was nice and smooth the spoiler was installed with double sided tape.

Got the 12mm spacers from motorsport hardware and a Activeautowerke downpipe.

Went with this downpipe since it has a v-band connection in the middle which I can use to have something fabricated to match an exhaust that does not use the OEM vband which I'm not a fan of.

Downpipe is installed. Did it at home with ramps and it was a little difficult because of clearance with the floor. A lift would have made it a lot easier.

Nice! What would the gains be with the downpipe installed?

Well I Never baselined the car on a Dyno but the butt dyno felt a quicker spool up, not so much power. I will be updating the thread with the dynosheet that I got soon. The car put down a healthy 361whp and 396tq on a dynojet STD smoothing 3.

Spacers are on! Love the new look 12mm spacers all around and the tires are a lot more flush with the car.

Also my new Grille from IND came in.
