Got the Sport Rear Sway Bar on my X. It really decreases body roll, makes the steering more neutral, more planted.

I got my Takeda cold air intakes installed this morning then did a quick idle air relearn. The car is running great, and I love how much the intake opens up the sound under WOT! Baby steps to putting FBO on my sedan.

Also, just FYI because I love saving money, Concept Z performance has the Takeda intakes on sale for $404 shipped in the US if anyone else is in the market! I am not affiliated with them in any way, just thought I'd share the great deal I was able to get on mine! Next steps will be dealing with these rattling stock cats.

Editing to add in a pic of the intake! Pardon the dirty car, it's been rainy for the past week or so and I haven't had a chance to do some spring cleaning yet.

That's a great price. Good heads up.

Let's see a picture of the kit installed.

Don’t think the X front will fit on the sport or vice versa due to the unique bending of the Sport front. I looked into getting the Sport front on my X.

Thats correct, the transfer case makes X Y-Pipes and sway bars a little different. The X may fit on the Sport, not sure, but definitely not visa versa (why would anyone want that spaghetti noodle there anyways, amarite?)

The X front bar is thicker than the S and would improve roll resistance if it fit the RWD chassis. X rear bar is something to just throw away or keep by your bed with which to bean intruders.

Interesting. Never knew it was thicker, but makes sense to compensate for the understeer that comes with AWD.

RWD S front is 26 mm, AWD front is 30 mm. Been meaning to compile a list of V36 bar thicknesses.

Heard a horrible noise from my car, it got worse yesterday so today I finally got under there and looked. RIP. No idea how that even happened lol.
I'll just get another one.... any suggestions? I have HFC but they are going into the stock midpipe, then into the Tanabe mufflers. I see there are some from megan, tanabe, etc but I need to match the diameters i guess.

Eek! Unsure how that would/could even happen? Would make more sense if it was on the bottom side. Very strange.

Edit: Looking at this again... I'm wondering it you bottomed out the middle of the exhaust and flexed the OEM Y-Pipe enough that it caused it to crack? Then maybe the leaking exhaust gasses trapped under the heat-shield caused it to bend up? Did you notice any signs of the exhaust being hit somewhere between the y-pipe and mid-pipe?

I'm using a Tanabe Y-Pipe, along with the OEM resonators and Tanabe mufflers and am pleased with the overall sound. It's considerably louder than stock, but still subdued without any drone or rasp. But might sound even better with HFC's.

Yeah, i saw that one. I am tempted to go with it since I was pretty pleased with the quality of my Tanabe mufflers. But do you know the inlet and outlets diameters? Is it the same as the OEM midpipe?
Also not sure if it will fit AWD. The piping goes quite a bit more inwards. I'll have to do more reading on that....

Front Strut bar Installed

Got a Megan Racing strut bar today (98.00 shipped) put it in with no clearance issues at all. Looks good under there....it looks like the nameplate is now riveted instead of screwed in on previous edition. Took it for a quick spin, the front end did feel as if it didn't dive as much on fast turn-in. I have stock front and aftermarket rear (Megan Racing) sways. I like.
