To see if it's a real FL, on the VIN plate it should say ABA-EP3. Pre FL says LA-EP3.

Exact same happens with my Gruppe M. You're able to close it without holding it down but it scrapes it. Definitely has nothing to do with the condition of the car if that's what you're getting at. :p

Needing an opinion from everyone here as I'm thinking of getting in on the TODA group buy.

My options are:

TODA header + welded on TODA cat + TODA catback
TODA header (with no cat) + TODA catback

Or the above variations with a different, cheaper, catback - such as the Skunk2 or RM01A.

Thoughts?

^ only way to deal with the scrubbing from the gruppe m is through cushioning it with thick tape or 3m tape on the bonnet and behind on the replacement scuttle where the top of the intake sits. havent had issues after a good tape down.

Love the rm01a, a great exhaust, felt bottom -mid range pick up combined with gruppe m.

are u talking about the bonnet scrapping the scoop when u close the bonnet ?? Easy, get a file / sand paper, start filling/sanding the edge that is hitting the bonnet, FIXED ! Part of the installation instructions is that u have to file the scoop if need be
