It has arrived! It might just be the very first one in Australia.
Why did I choose this? Primarily because it's a Cobb tuning product (to match my Cobb tuned maps), great customer service (answer all my questions promptly and quick delivery). Secondarily, because it has all the features I want: efficient bar and plate design, 60% greater core volume, stepped design to increase frontal surface area, cast aluminium end tanks, easy Installation with no modification required.
It should be a nice match for the Cobb Stage 1+ FMIC Aggressive ST map.
Off to Advan shortly.
