Yesterday Installed gloss black mirror and door handle covers. Today just looked at it in the garage before leaving for work in my truck.

If I am not mistaken, realistically the only place that will get dirty on a DI engine that won't get dirty on a PI engine is the back of the intake valves. In a PI engine, all the blow-by and oil vapour still make its way to the cylinders, they just don't build up as there is fuel constantly cleaning them off.
I was definitely concerned seeing that plug. Only the #1 plug looked like this. The rest looked pretty good. I attributed this to the #1 plug being the closest plug to the PCV line. The car really didn't run poorly at all before the plug change, just a little stumble every few rotations at idle. After changing the plugs the idle is flawless. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on this plug. At least it's the easiest one to get to.

It's not raspy like the stock NPP. The valves work great and the stealth mode sounds a lot better than stock NPP does.

Here's a clip of the idle - Borla S-Type NPP Idle

Very nice. Are they lighter than the OEM suitcase?

Yes - I didn't weigh them on a scale but they were definitely a lot lighter than the stock NPP muffler!

Yes took me about 2 hours I'd say - The bolts behind the bumper were the hardest part as there's not much room in there.

Here is a clip of Borla S-Type NPP with Cold Start & Idle (both flaps open and closed) . I don't have a recording of stock NPP but the Stealth sounds better with the Borla for sure.

At first my mind immediately went to the shifter install. I thought maybe you did it blindfolded and drunk. Then I read "The bolts behind the bumper", etc...

Long day today teaching 7th-9th graders Computer Science and App Creation...
