Alex should have put bushings in the freezer and heated up the subframe hole with a heat gun. Should go in with an impact gun np that way. Just have to work fast.

I actually purchased it like that. The previous owner had had a y pipe installed just after the midpipe to axleback connection with a butterfly valve and a 90 degree directional outlet. I spent like 5-6 hours wiring it up to the battery into a rocker switch near the centre console etc and just my luck, the motor died after like 1 use. I now to try and source a replacement motor and if I can't get it to work I'll need to buy a new valve from somewhere. When it was working though, the volume increases by probably 2-3 fold during all driving conditions, from idle, to cruising to acceleration. I didn't get it go WOT with it open but it basically sounds almost exactly the same as the Berk Street only 2-3 times louder. I have 1M midpipes in the car currently with cats. Once I get my turbos fixed I'll put the CP-e mids back on and get this valve work in and see what it sounds like. Happy to take videos once I get it all working but it probably won't be for a while.

I actually haven't updated this thread in a while. I think because I've been waiting for money to rebuild my turbos, install VTT intakes and retune. Then there's so much more I want to do to this car but so little money

Ahhh, that's what I've forgotten to update.
Due to my stock OEM clutch slipping, I upgraded to a PTF twin plate clutch with a steel SMFW. I also got a B3121 battery with the HPA bracket and Flow Designs HDPE front and side splitters. Here are a couple photos of the front lip and side skirt. Thanks Quang 1MOz for the first picture. To install the side splitters I had to pull off the side skirts and to install the front lip was just done by lifting the front of the car and using some self tapping screws. They're not the nicest looking things, but it does the job of making the car look a little lower and slightly more aggressive.
