Great update Obioban!

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on your SPipe and XPipe. I plan on picking up a SS XPipe one day in the future...

You may say that

Hopefully the underbody aero mods will only make things better

You have some plans for under body aero?

On another note, do you have any recommendations on a lightweight battery that sees all year round weather and conditions?

I have some ideas

I went with an optima. Not super light but not damaged by a 100% discharge... Which I've been known to do from time to time

Dayum, that's a subframe reinforcement on steroids. I like all the extra work you had done. For a car that sees as much driving as yours that's one clean underside.

Cool, I may go with that then.

My concern with the Deka ETX30L is having to use a tender often to maintain the battery.

Now in regards to those aero pieces....care to share haha
