VAFC is basically an SAFC plus the ability to control VTEC shift and stuff that goes with it.

But don't get the VAFC 1... Wait for the VAFC 2 to come out. The first one doesn't let you control VTEC.

I dunno why you guys think that the Tanabe cat back is the best performance for our cars... first off its street legal and its loud, loud doesnt mean power! I have the skunk 2 i acutally noticed a difference well over the tanabe which my friend has.

Why not try putting more power to the wheels, too, by changing the clutch and flywheel? That's sure to add more of a response to our cars.

Boo hoo, it's legal lease:

Uh, some of us want or need to stay street legal.

We can't all be badasses riding around with illegal cars.
