Would you believe me if I said it's stock?
I FULLY believe that, since those tires in a 205/50-16 are soooo tall, they fill the wheels wells that much. [wink]
(They are just a hair shorter than my winter/rally working setup, a 195/60-15 on 15x7s, which fill the wells about the same amount, on a factory ride height/suspension.)

I installed a Depo Racing 3" catted downpipe this weekend and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. The quality of the piece and the fitment was excellent. The hardest part of the installation was removing the heatshield from the turbo manifold. I beat the shit out of the heatshield to get it out and so now I'm running without it. I'll probably order a new one from Ford; I heard it's a cheap part. Next challenge, was removing the stock downpipe out after it was unbolted. Wow that was also hard, pretty much impossible to take the downpipe out top, so I pushing it out the bottom and it worked.The Mishimoto downpipe installation video stated that you can wrestle it out from the top but I couldn't unless I was willing to bend the shit out of the hardlines back there.

After a day of driving around with it, I haven't smelled any gas fumes, not even at cold start. I feel like the whole power band has improved as well as much more torque. I did a 4th gear pull on a freeway merge and I was spinning tires. However, it has tripped a cel light. I'm going to wait until I get a fmic until I get a tune revision.

After our first snow we had two weeks of nice weather, but next weekend is supposed to part of a downward spiral in the weather, plus it's a holiday weekend where I'll be busy with family. So I took advantage of a 65 degree Sunday afternoon to put on the snows. They're 185/60R15 Yokohama Iceguards on 15x7 Motegi 116's. Training the TPMS's was easy with the tool you get from Amazon. We've been to church and the grocery store and back, and the tires are definitely more comfortable than the OEM's. Impacts from seams and cracks in the pavement don't jolt you and it's just cushier. Naturally with the taller sidewall and their being snows the steering response is dulled a bit.

Looking at my own and back at yours, no. But I see you are probably running a taller tire so it fills out the wheel well. My snows ended up being a shorter tire so it makes the wheel well gap even bigger.

Re-installed my rear wheel mudflaps (full rally size/spec SMS deals), since I tore the passenger side one off the car at ESPR, not the flap itself, but the plastic eyelet piece on the rear bumper which the Rally Armor mount mounts attach to (had to 'Qwik Steel' these back onto the inner bumper to use these mounts again).

Now ready for the effing salt soup which PennDOT so graciously supplies us with all winter long here. [mad]

Who's was this? I'm going parts shopping this weekend. Hopefully it still has all the Sync 3 components.

Had an oil change done along with a double-check on the coolant recall as my fluid was low.

Also had the BG fluid put into the trans and installed the AWR 70 duro rmm. I'm at 49k miles so wow i definitely feel the difference. It's like the whole front end tightened up as the engine is back to being secure. Shifting feels much less vague and grindy with the new fluid as well. Certainly better than the Motul I had in before

Installed a bunch of parts from Mountune and Whoosh motorsports. Turbosmart EM dual port, powerflex motor mount insert, ARP bolt, Mountune intake and radium catch can. Waiting on a UPR check valve to finish the ctach can install and pay day so I can buy a front mount IC and accessport.

Swapped in a new battery which fixed my radio issue.

Replaced step colders with new stock plugs. Running on my 93 tune at the moment because I don't feel like dealing with mixing at the moment and commuting mpgs suck on E30. Did a few WOT pulls and didn't see any negative corrections. I'll take some proper logs to be sure. Stock heat tend to be more efficient when cruising.
