I doubt that is going to happen, since I love the Amuse setup. However, I may go that route one of these days via single.

I found it locally. The amuse is dual and yes it may cover it up. However, that is not the main reason why I purchased it. If it does show, even better.

I believe Mackin imports them at the retail price of around $2,500 for the pro choice kit.

That is a sick setup. I need to do a diff cooler for my track days but I don't think the funds are there for an ARC setup.

As expected, the ARC diff cooler does not fit with the Amuse Exhaust. So it looks like we're going to make custom brackets to mount it elsewhere to make it all work. I'll post progress pics in the coming days.

I've always focused on weight reduction and suspension first. I also went ahead and went overkill on the cooling mods as well to make the car more efficient with heat dissipation. Since the engine/chassis only has 20K miles, I saw no point in dumping unnecessary money in to the motor while the NA modifications for the VQ is still developing. I see a higher value in learning more about the car as a driver than adding HP at the moment.

As I rack up more mileage, i'm patiently waiting for the NA community of this site to grow day by day, so when i'm ready, I can work on a NA engine build project as one of my final modifications.

I'm currently running a Nismo differential on full lock with 350evo gears. The finned Nismo diff cover should be sufficient, but I saw an ARC unit available so I went for it.

You can check out my mods here:
