Horrible Canadian version of American beer actually. It is made about a mile from where I live. Pretty sure the only similarity to the American version is the name.
I have very basic tastes and sitting at the computer, building a model, watching a movie, petting the cat and talking to the wife all at the same time does not require some pretentious micro brew.

Holy crap!!!!
IT guy just came in and said I have a new lap top here. My old one is from 2004. This is like Christmas. See you guys in a bit.

@jawn IMO it keeps the noise very close to stock at idle and low rpms but is louder at 3500+. With UEL headers it has a nice deep rumble on cold starts. Shakes the house a bit! Maybe after work I'll grab a sound clip

Yeah, I don't know if it's actually heavier than stock. I've seen the Q300 weigh in at 39 pounds before, and the stock at 41 pounds. Regardless, it's very close in weight.

Yup! Stainless Steel tips are an option. You need to meet people with better taste in real life.

Our mind play trick on us, just like butt-dyno. Like jawn said, it weight 39 lbs and stock, 38.4 lbs... only 0.6 lbs difference, so it's VERY minor difference (maybe one bathroom break difference? lmfao).

Sorry, but local twin owners are more track geek than hardpark.

Lol still that's a difference for me! because it's me arriving to work and the sun is up it's easy to see things and we can all work right away , or I arrive to work and it's dark out = v = the lot lighting isn't too good and I can't catch all the details. I'm sure it will get better in a week or so though when the sun start rising at 7am Again

Oh snap! jawn is on the mood to join the way1 & sheep crew... aka tease the ichi crew lol jk

Prob seen it before, but didn't bother looking at it detail... or I really haven't seen it. I'm just too lazy to go through all the photos I've taken at the event.

Edit.
I can't look at photos, cuz my damn desktop is dead...

Ok, so do you recommend them? Are they worth the money? Bear in mind that I am thinking about the steering response improvement, not the appearance.

I installed the Perrin steering rack lockdown a while back and they did make a subtle but significant difference in the precision of the steering. http://perrinperformance.com/i-15768...-fr-s-brz.html Drop dead easy to install, too.
