To open the exhaust valves: turn on car (don't have to start engine), switch to sport+ throttle and step on gas, look inside tailpipes to make sure the valves are open, and remove fuses 146/147 by taking out the trunk liner in the back (there will be a map telling you which fuses are which next to the fuse box) Regarding Msmall143 's comment, I agree you get what you pay for. But the options that everyone has provided have been shown to be good quality at a great price |

Lightweight front lip (non CF). Continue to scrape the crap out of it (lowered on swift springs) and it keeps taking the abuse. If I had a CF lip it would have been trashed by now.

Cheapest mod is also the best mod. Code off active sound. Or unplug the module. Just get rid of it. My enjoyment of the car doubled once I did that. Couldn't stand that fake plastic "whirring" sound. Now I love the engine/throttle note.
