any new information on the ap1 side pieces. I know you have been swamped lately so I am not expecting any further development but I figured I'd ask anyway.

I wonder if the (AP 1) side pieces will block some of the hot air coming from the rear brakes.
This could possibly be an issue for a car used at track events. Check out S~Factor (pg 3 on this thread)
for his beautiful solution (vented rear bumper) to hot air being trapped above the rear diffuser on
his AP1. His elegant solution would assist diff. cooling and also work for the side pieces. Comments?

this is becuase the driver starts from the farest part of his route and gradually comes closer to the hub.

I think without a panel completing the rear fender liner, this could be more of an issue because the side piece would create a bucket behind the wheel that could collect air. If we block off the wheel well behind the tire, the low pressure created by the increased velocity of the air behind the wheel should assist with evacuating air from the wheel well.


The Invidia exhaust looks pretty similar to the OEM exhaust, it looks like fitment would be great.

My concern is that the Y pipe hangs too low with the Invidia. See pics in this thread:
