finally got my hands on a testpipe this morning

threw it on the car and the drone is quite a bit better, but still present. it's definitely more drive-able now.. especially for long distances on the freeway

also go in some valve retainers and keepers for the intake side. once i purchase new valve seals and exhaust side retainers/keepers as well(some say it isnt required, but im ripping it apart anyways, so i may as well get it done and get it over with) ill be throwing those on and will start working toward prepping for my first track day hopefully during summer

Wow that might be the worst performing one I've heard of so far!

Yea everyone is surprised about that one.

mini-ish update:

picked up Koni yellows with H&R springs for a steal
also picked up some axle spacers to throw on during the install

install went smooth as butter. a bunch of locals told me the rear driver is difficult, but i managed to do it all by myself within 4 hours.. that included the half shaft spacers and taking my time with lots of breaks in between everything

initial drive: feels a tad bit harsher than stock but nothing crazy.
my fender roller arrived today as well, so i will be rolling both front and rear fenders. fronts rub on hard bumps and rears rub pretty much any time the body rolls lol

what's a suspension install without some pics?
