Setup is JDM B16A. CAI, Rs*R header, high flow cat, Kakimoto R full cat-back, ITR TB + IM, Skunk2 Pro1 camshafts and adjustable gears, Jun oversized valves, Supertech titanium retainers and HD valve springs, enlarged intake/exhaust ports, matched manifolds and re-welded combustion chambers (smaller for higher comp/more flow).

Exhaust isn't too bad, it's a nice oval muffler, typical JDM piece good deep/throaty sound and high-pitched screaming up to 9,000rpm.

And yeah, just a hobby/weekender so I don't foresee much highway driving but I don't want to hate it too much if I drive down to say Apolo Bay and get some 110km/hour highway action.

4.9FD is ordered an definitely going in, just wondering if I should consider lengthening the 5th gear to bring the rpm down a bit at cruising speeds as I don't predict much need for 5th acceleration. By my rough calculations the longer 5th + 4.9FD should pretty much be similar to my oem setup of shorter 5th + 4.26FD.
