I see! Sounds good (no pun intended). I think I'll get this filter come Spring...

Congrats on the new ST. Our parts are moving really good for the ST, I'm shocked actually.

The parts are getting great reviews too. You are going to miss the AWD of the EVOX at some point. The biggest problem with the ST is traction, with just the few parts and tune we offer for the car it's pretty much non existent in 1st and 2nd gear.

Newest news is we have a kick *** FMIC for the car that will allow the use of the undertrays if you want to run them. Also we are a Cobb Pro Tuner and have a tune for our parts now. Our car at full weight on stock tires ran 13.90 at 101 a few weeks ago.

13.90 at 101 isn't bad at all, really.

I'm intrigued by these. There's a very slim chance I'd ever buy a high powered fwd car ever again though. The only question I have is if the back-end is easy to kick out on a front wheel drive car, is that anything other than computer controlled loss of traction in the rear? Not so much controlled, but loss.
