On Sunday I went to Road America and did a touring event just to make sure that temps were not an issue with the oil cooler like they were with my '11 370Z. So far so good so I think I will be ok to do track days there.
Got to see some pretty cool machines while I was there too...

I changed my oil today and thought I would take a quick side by side pic of the original oil filter vs. what you use with the Stillen oil cooler. Quite a difference in size. If you plan to get an oil cooler, plan ahead as not many places carry this size. I think the last car it was used on was the '92 Eclipse.
If you have an aluminum undertray with an access panel like I do for oil changes, be very glad the filter is turned sideways so you can loosen it and drain the oil before removing it completely. It is a tight fit and if the filter were positioned upside down like my Subarus, there would have been a lot of swearing involved due to all the hot oil running down my hand.
Another plus is that you will only drain out just shy of 5 quarts of oil so lots of 5qt oil specials (Advance Auto Parts) will work just fine. Stillen told me all 6 quarts should drain out- so bad info. from them again.

I really like the sound of the exhaust. The HFC's have introduced a quick rasp if you accelerate slowly past 3k rpms, but that is about it. Still sounds awesome at just about any rpm especially toward the top of the rev range.
The last time I was on track it sounded awesome. I especially liked the fact that I could hear it through my helmet so I never missed a shift. The exhaust on my '14 Evo was too quiet and I would hit the rev limiter every so often.

Why? Are you at a point where 2.25 is going to hold back power? Call Tony from fast intentions and ask him why he suggests 2.25 for sedans.
So, I called sales with the same question . He did not know, their tech did not know. He said he can get back to me in several business days to measure the system personally. Both of them sounded less than enthusiastic to help me.
I measured the piping and it's 2.25.

Debating whether I want to upgrade to the Stillen CBE or Ark exhaust next year.
