I only have one gripe with the car currently and that is the exhaust smell under hard acceleration with the windows down. You definitely get a smell in to the cabin...especially if I only have the front two windows down.
Running the ETS HFC. Anyone else experience this?
I thought this was a symptom of test pipes, but not HFCs.

Any other recommendations for easy weight savings that don't compromise the car to much? I assume smaller battery is also a gimmie..

-If you don't use your rear seats, take them out.
-A set of rear carbon fiber doors will drop a lot of weight.
Basically, just ask yourself what you can live without, and remove it or replace it with a lighter item.
Lightweight parts you will "feel":
Lightweight wheels - less unsprung weight ftw

Interesting, I thought FFTEC wasn't taking on anymore EVO's?
I called them up two months ago about installing some upgrades on my 2013 and giving it a tune and they turned me away. They are specializing in GTR's and BMW's now..

Who is the Go-to for Evo tuning in the Bay Area now?

To be honest with you I have spoken with 5150/Baka down in Santa Ana. I will be making the trek planning for April when my children go on spring break in April. Saving up for timing chain maintenance, turbo upgrading and tuning. I need to adjust my appointment date with them.
For our MR I believe Baka is the way to go. Another alternative is to rent out a dyno and do a remote/e-tune real time session with him. Saves you a trip of driving 7 hours down there.
Or if you want local kind of, check out Boosted Tuning.

Fftech and Evos
Mike B and Aaron P will hook you up at Fftec... A few of their crew are definitely up to tuning Evos ... And yes Mustang Dyno for quantitative proof... I've had my MR back for a couple weeks after custom tune and mods.... Awesome job.. I'll post my build... When I can find some time
