As for the full evo Akra vs Akra slip-ons with N55 or third party midpipes the price difference is considerable! So I'm glad that you think it's overpriced for what it is and that it works just fine with your MadDad pipes! I'm also definitely getting the wireless kit as without it you're really only getting two working tips because of the blocking plate.

One more question - what exactly do you gain from modifying the clutch delay valve? Are you getting more grip when the clutch is engaged? Do you get smoother shifts and less bobbing back and forth?

Thanks again for your words of wisdom!
Sheil, on your CDV question, better than me answering you in my layman terms, here is the formal writeup from Dave Zeckhausen, a personal friend and resident brake expert.
