Drone down with aero kit

I just put the aero kit on my car and the inside drone/noise from the header / cat-back combination is way down. The car is much easier to ride in longer distances. This is just an FYI for those with similar experiences.

You know, my buddy has a MCS w/ stock exhaust and i was wondering
why his car sounded louder than mine when we compared our cars
way back when (both stock exhaust/intake).

This aero kit seems to have some sort of noise/wind deflecting
design?

Any picts?

I think it is the cut away in the valence that does it. I was hoping for that effect and it happened....go figure....I lucked out

I took some pics that I will try to post. So far I have not posted any pics .... we'll see how I do.

Look at my gallery. I think it is up there though the photography leaves a lot to be desired.

Looking good! I noticed that you had the area around the fog lights black.
I like the contrast. :smile: Is that paint or decal?

That is a part that you can buy. It is about $70 for the pair. I saw them in GOMINI. It is a BMW/Mini part. In your color blue it would look very cool as well. I think in the dark grey it is essential.

Are you going to the Dragon?

Spiderx- thanks for the info... but $70?! I think I'll just make
mine then.

No dragon for me yet... it might be a while before I can head out
there. Have fun! tear up some roads for me.
