Sound Test: GR Cup Intake Mod; resonator delete, Grimmspeed high flow filter and silicone post-MAF inlet pipe.

3D printed the GR Cup style intake inc 3D printed delete plug for airbox. Removed both resonators, (the intake and the airbox). High flow grimmspeed dry filter and the, silicone post-MAF inlet.

Very distinctive powerful intake whoosh like a cold air sound. Mechanical sounding agreesive suction/intake when you open the throttle. Very aggro in sport mode and when downshifting with a rev match.

As expected a hard mechanical resonation returned and grows from 3250-4500rpm ish then fades quickly to engine noise. I find it quite enjoyable personally but my exhaust is also very aggressive.

Cold start on new Xforce 2.5" Varex Valved Cat-Back Exhaust. Apologies for potato quality audio. It sounds far deeper and less tinny in person, my pixel pro was the only choice I had though! πŸ˜…

Sorry I don't know if this was closed or open. I push/held what I THOUGHT was the open button, but turned out to be the closed button. Unclear if it actually triggered or not though. Sounds awful angry for closed?! Will find out tomorrow when I test again.

After about 30s it settled into a deep OEM+ rumble and smooth grrrrr.

An absolute RIOT to drive wide open and in sport mode though!

Any questions just ask but I absolutely love this exhaust kit.

Can't wait to make my own exhaust valve map with the smartbox this weekend based on throttle position and rpm.

Zero drone btw. Even wide open valve on freeway at 110kph.

Rims are done, so is the 2.5" Xforce Catback with the valves and smart box. Sounds like unleashing a pissed off dragon that has also has a sleep mode on the freeway... what an absolute orchestra in sport mode. I can't stop smiling πŸ˜‚

2024 tS now has the gold Rotas and the Varex cat back and WHAT a sound. Defaults to stock at the click of a button.

Click it wide open and the overrun sounds magnificent on a downshift with a throttle blip to match.

On the freeway even wide open valves it's absolutely silent I couldn't believe it. Absolutely blown away and enjoying this WAY too much πŸ˜‚ can't wait to map out my own exhaust tune using the throttle position and rpm though.

All the weight I put on with new rims and rubber is instantly gone and the car pulls cleans me hard with plenty of spirit πŸ’™

Queue up Flux Pavilion because I Can't Stop. Modifying this car is so satisfying; 3 weeks new to me, and I am speechless, I love it.

2025 BRZ tS absolute dream come true and will forever be in the making I imagine. New Xforce 2..5" catback with the valved Varex really lets it breathe and roar! Nice mechanical pop and crackle on a rev matched down shift is deeply satisfying and I can't stop smiling in it.

New BRZ tS owner, just bought new rims in my dream combo. WR Blue paint and Gold 8-spoke y style rims (classic Subi S22B throwback)

2025MY BRZ tS (I'm the second owner).

Rota Dragonfly 18x8.5 +44 with 225/40R18 Pilot Sport 5 on the rears and 215/40R18 OEM Pilot Sport 4 on the front.

Fitment is flawless. 0 poke. Perfectly under the guard. It may ride high for some at this factory height but I like not scraping and I'm preserving the factory warranty until 2029 so only limited mods allowed for now.

First Subi owner here! Thrilled so far with the car and community; 2024 Subaru BRZ tS in WR Blue πŸ’™

Already ordered an Xforce valved cat back, high flow grimmspeed filter, 3D printed GR Cup intake and cabin resonator delete, dash wedge for phone mount, and I just can't stop shopping for more parts!

I have a serious addiction to upgrading my 2024 BRZ tS already. Anyone have experienced with this cat back exhaust? Just bought it today, waiting on arriva

Price is AUD so don't freakout this is actually a bargain for me. I ordered the Bluetooth variable controller too so I can adjust the valve from 0-100% open via phone and set GPS locations for closed mode πŸ˜… 🚨 πŸš“ 🏑 or open mode πŸ›£οΈ πŸš—

Also installing the straight silicone intake pipe, high flow filter, and a GR Cup style intake snorkel (not yet installed).

Lucky Perth, WA giveaway winner here with my new Haworth Zody saying thanks to everyone involved, especially Curated Office Chairs and the mod team!

George at u/curated_officechairs was incredible and gave me a personal 1 on 1 ergo advice and let me test everything available in the shop. What an absolute legend, the kindest bloke I've ever met. I ended up buying some extras from him to upgrade it because I was so impressed, left him a stellar review and took some photos to show of my new Haworth Zody!

I now exist on a humble throne of zero-g supportive clouds πŸ™πŸΌ I will never go back to cheap, Officeworks chairs again!

Thanks mod team especially u/ibuyofficefurniture for hosting the world's biggest office chair giveaway, I am absolutely stoked with this.

Side note it turned out by a weird twist of fate that u/curated_officechairs and I actually have some very close IRL connections in common πŸ˜‚ crazy coincidence! Thanks again everyone!

I finally bought a bucket list dream car! 2024 BRZ tS in WR Blue 🀀 (6spd manual obviously)

Neat that here in Australia it comes with a full size 5th rim and tyre mounted on display in the back of the car.

Test driving a 2024 BRZ tS tomorrow. Tips, tricks, specifics, etc for inspecting?

I've driven a GT86 before and loved it, but never the BRZ, let alone the 2.4L new one. I have a loan pre approved and ready to go.

It's a 6spd manual, 15,000km on the clock, still has 3 years factory warranty left, so technically used and priced at roughly $45k AUD drive away inc taxes etc.

Tip, tricks, opinions, etc? Cheers!

Please give me feedback if you use the 780G and Simplera CGM combo

The Simplera is about to be available in Australia this month!

My educator has asked if I want to get a replacement 780G as my current 780G works fine, but it is out of warranty and won't work with the new Simplera since Minimed will not provide me with the compatibility update for an out-of-warranty pump, so I need to replace my 780G with a new one in order to use the Simplera CGM (very annoying but anyway...)

I have been T1D about 30 years, on pumps for 20, and CGM for about 3-4 now.

I've always used Medtronic. I like their pumps. I do NOT like their CGM (the Guardian 3 was a catastrophe and the Guardian 4 still felt like it was trying to kill me).

I can replace my 780G at no cost (Insurance replaces it every 4 years free, and it's now due) so that I can use the Simplera.

The real question. Is it worth it? Does anyone have experience going from the 780G/G4 to the Simplera and was it a dramatic improvement?

I hated the G4 so much I stopped using them altogether, and use a Dexcom G6 as a standalone sensor. The CGM is the most accurate and reliable one I've ever had. I absolutely love it, but obviously it isn't compatible with Minimed/Medtronic.

I would be okay switching to another pump manufcaturer but I have exactly zero experience with other brands and quite frankly the opinons and back/forth of love/hate from people is a lot to consider.

TLDR; is it worth sticking with Medtronic to upgrade from my non-linked Dexcom G6/780G combo, to the 780G/Simplera? I have to renew my still-functional pump through insurance first (free) to do so annoyingly...

Wanted to share 'comfort' and 'incentive' for any diabetics worried about side effects of control (image involves my eye after an injection fyi)

Even if the worst happens and you get side effects from T1D, seek early treatment! I'm only 33. I've always tried my hardest with an A1C kept under <7 but eventually and sometimes unluckily, life and damage can catch up after 30 years.
