Definitely way to go, happy customer here

I got roasted when I highlighted the Flow brackets, apparently, they are "overpriced and over complicated" and that two screws would do it for $1. No doubt they are overpriced if you are going to use them on a 10-year-old Camry. As others pointed out, what's another $150 on top of a car that you are paying upwards of $90,000 for.

I did promise the guys here to report back on a few things.....the last couple of months have been a bit of a struggle

1. First year ownership....no issues and 9000km down, moved to SEQ from NQ, cyclones and floods did not affect.....still love this beast.
2. Removed carbon traps.....there is more induction noise with elevated throttle levels, and a more noticeable burble in the exhaust.....and have noticed in traffic and bumps that throttle a little more sensitive in sports mode....and sound test in front of car with bonnet closed 98db. Looking forward to H pipe and tune update when available
3. The big one....took the beast on the track, it's been 10yrs since donning the race gear...and am shocked it still fit.....all I can say is please take your car to a track and try and find the limits......3rd session when I was going to go all out it rained....and boy oh boy I have never had so much fun, and now have so much confidence in the limits of the car on the road in wet conditions......but those brakes are phenomenal...and at QR could still hit 180kph in the rain going into first corner.
4. PPF had its first check up.....only 1 spot that will never heal, but if not there would most likely be a chip the size of small finger nail....was an initial cost....but so worth it.
5. Skid pan day for SEQ guys is a must so we can all laugh at each other as we try and master the drift brake
6. Man I love this thing

Exciting day today......H with Hotdogs fitted and what a change, still has the burbles off throttle, but so much deeper and crisper, shout out to Subject 9 at Ormeau, good quality product, took about 1hr to complete on hoist, did not remove rear pipes or muffler from car, just cut out resonator....very happy with outcome

For reference video is sport mode
