PLEASE post a video of that exhaust, I can't believe you ordered a genuine Amuse exhaust, that's freaking awesome, I don't think I've ever heard one on a G before!

The best way to find a seat you like is to sit in as many as you can. When you find the one you like best, you buy it

I tried around 15 different seats before I settled for the one I have now.

There still needs to be some sort of balance. Back-heavy = loss of control, drifting, crashing...(especially if you think weight doesn't matter).

Front-heavy = Understeer, aka, "My car losses barrels into curves" and you may loose control.

Of course none of this matter in normal driving. But who strips their car down to drive it normal?

BALANCE is KEY!

Better tell that to virtually every racecar in production then.

Ill get videos tom night probably. I actually just swapped my stock headers back on and some berk hfcs for now. By then end of summer i might try the amuse high flows possibly. Im going to take three videos for comparison and help tony with motordyne out too.

Video 1) berk hfcs and amuse y pipe and catback
Video 2) swapping only the y pipe to resonated motordyne xyz
Video 3) swapping y pipe to motordyne non-res xyz straight pipe

Virtually EVERY race car developer knows this. The cars that handle the best are those that are closest to a 50/50 weight distribution.

If you are just running the 1/4 mile then it doesn't matter.

Thats kind of common knowledge though, bro!

I stand by lighter is better, period.

Not sure how you got this weight distribution thing out of my original statement; I said absolutely nothing about weight distribution, nor did I contest your statement.

I will tell you, 50/50 is a marketing ploy. It means absolutely nothing. Suspension geometry and aero balance are far greater factors, and lets not forget tires.

If 50/50 were such a huge deal, then the tire sizes front and rear would also be identical to give all 4 corners an equal load

Crossweights, on the other hand...
