Under the bins, floorboard, and part of the tranny tunnel. Used for sound suppression.

Thanks, and is the additional sound proofing unique to the touring or do all the models have it? I wouldn't mind a little more noise in my car...

Seems to me between the base and r1 some of the weight (at least the extra oil cooler) is probably worth it.

That is what I am currently doing, lol. Going from like 30% BF down to like 10%.
But it takes time and money to do it. Far more easier to add more HP to the car.
But its the better option on the long run lol

And I will see what better shape does to my laptimes

And yes... I also track my car.

Maybe a Mod should edit those posts with the new link.
