From France

I took time to install the Zero Exhaust. I was able to install the left header bracket, but the right one got bigger hole in the engine block. I wasn't able to install the right side bracket. Owever, the engine sound is a tiny bit deeper (header tube is thicker than the PPE), a little bit louder and the resonance noise is present thrue the middle to high rpm range. With the PPE, the resonance noise was between 3.5k and 4.5k rpms. No need to drive next to a wall

There is a increasing torque gain at low/middle rpm range. No need to push further the gas pedal like the PPE setup, especially on uphill. With the PPE setup, my MR-S archived a 27.3 sec to 1093.61 yard from a stop. Now I am sure the car can pass below 27 sec. A stock 2002 Subaru Impreza STi 265hp set the 1093.61 yard in 25.9 sec. As the factory 1ZZ ECU work with 2 O² sensor, my MR-S was running "ok" with the PPE 4-1 setup (only one oxygen sensor is used). But this time with the 2 oxygens sensors bungs location on the Zero Exhaust, the ECU work like stock now. So I should not expect O² sensor or lean/rich mixture issue.

Ground clearance of the Zero Exhaust sport cat is 3.14 inch higher thant the PPE.
The PPE header + sport cat + O² sensor + 2 bung weight 18.29 lbs.
The Zero Exhaust header + sport cat weight 24 lbs.

Hi MR2_GT4. Thank you again for this comment.

Unfortunally, none of the Tactical Art and "advance tuning" front lips are Plug&Play for the MR-S.
The Tactical Art lip has the same inside shape as your picture and does not line up with the MR-S bumper.

Without cutting the interior of the lip, it's not possible to fit right the lip with the bumper together (I had to cut the entire inside lip). Only way make it fit would be while positioning the lip higher than I did, but will be bad, because we will see the "under bumper" below the lip. Pretty disgracious.

Keep in mind that I had to use heatgun to mold the lip with the bumper of my MR-S too. The MR-S bumper is wider/less curvy/under bumper is more curved than the Civic. On my MR-S, the lip is as low as the bumper and visually it's still a little bit high. But cant be lower because the extra length added by the lip will make every speedbump nearly impossible to pass.

I could see the hole of the bumper, but did used black tape to close the aesthetics holes for a cleaner result.
Zoom the pictures and you will see black tapes and where I did cut the the front lip in 3 parts.

Fitting by hand the lip against the bumper is not possible because the lip need to be in tension to fit the bumper. I can't use 3M double side tape because the bumper don't fit exactly the flat surface of the lip (bumper of the MR-S is more round than the Civic). Downforce generated by the lip is enough to make it "bend". If this lip fall off of the bumper while driving, it would be a problem for the car/bike behind me. That's why I did use screws instead of.

I did mounted the lip without painting. Black color come from the polyurethane material.
While looking at my MR-S in live from a distance, my eyes barely notice the screws painted in black.

However, I did see pictures of an MR-S with the front lip like your picture and am not convinced that it fit as great as the Tactical Art lip. The shape is too strange for the MR-S bumper and the extra length is just too much.
