Back to shop talk...vacuum canister for ice mode? Tell me more about that. All you guys will figure it out, but I just like to drive and do body work/design/painting etc. NOT a gear head. Explain it like I'm a 2 yr old ha!

With the options we have now, it's easier. M.Bonani (Mike) in Vegas runs Fast Intentions long tube headers, exhaust (18" resonators) and HFC's on the exhaust. He's well below the limits. I've yet to take mine out, but Laguna Seca is on my list of places to go and they have a terrible db limit. I think I should still be okay. There are a lot of good options. Motordyne makes a great exhaust too, might be too loud depending on where you go. It's over 104db wide open.

I know Shamu posted pics of it. I'm definitely no expert and hoping I got the terminology right, but basically it makes ice mode a remote chance instead of a good one for people hard on the brakes.

Reading this might help. Has Shamu posting pics of the canister.
In-Car at Willow Springs + Off-track dirt action...Thanks Ice Mode...

This one as well. There is a bit more detail at the end of the thread regarding ice mode.

Already do thanks! Really liked the nismo s-tune rear spoiler so put it on today. Was made for 2012 so mounting did not match up to the stock sport spoiler, but I made it happen. Body mods are first on my list. Decided on amuse rear end (way tough)! Thinking stillin or fuji front bumper and side skirts...got talked out of duraflex because its crap but also unique and my style.

So after much debate and a nismo s-tune body kit purchase/ never gonna fit a 2013 sport body return, (not my dime Thank god) , Went with stillen front and side skirts, amuse rear...pics to come. Installed a sexy nismo spoiler tho and lovin it! Itll be challenging tho. Although stillen assures front end bumper fit, (we'll see) 2013 has vertical LEDs which I need to find somewhere to place (not in the mold yet, stillen says I get to be guinea pig and wants pics when I'm done... Yay! Not!)...preferably in a spot that spells sexy, not stuck on... Still deciding on placement. Will show pics of all steps... Parts arriving next week
