I wouldn't put those in my car unless they were attached properly and securely to the roll cage bar behind the seats!
There is a ton of data that proves this particular harness has been engineered to run safely when installed in a proper manner. While you might not do it, it is perfectly fine for someone to do it. There are things that are perfectly safe and socially acceptable that I would never do.

I agree, but here in SoCal I believe you can get a ticket for having a full harness fitted to your street car. I had a set in my rally Toyota but it was acceptable when driving transits between stages on public roads.

Schroth does manufacture some harness sets which are fully street legal, and even carry legal NHTSA/DOT approvals, yes, IF the 'tail' strap(s) are mounted at the correct, injury avoiding angles, and securely to either a roll bar, harness bar, or the floor pan of the car.
I am not sure if NATYPE's Quick Fit Pros fall under this approval or not, but there is one very competition-like, and appearing set which does (besides the fully legal Rallye 3/4 setups), due to it's center lock release button, vs. a full competition harness's lever 'dial'.

Schroth's whole ASM (anti submarining) tech feature built into the straps is also part of what allows them to have that street legality, albeit yes, overly zealous LEOs might still pull you over for having them, but you will have the official 'papers' to show to get out of that ticket, whether on the spot, or in traffic court.

I swapped the entire suspension ( koni orange shocks and struts / swift springs for stock). I took out the whiteline rsb, dna axle bar, dna front bar.

Swapped the rmm, tail lights, 3rd brake light, fog lights.

Did that all in 8 hours. Not too shabby. Definitely took my time towards the end / had a few beers.

I love wrenching, even though I was returning everything to stock - it was still fun.

Finally got around to doing my Driverside actuator. Thank the lord for skinny arms.

Yep. According to my coworker, I have skinny arms and "bitch mitts". I'd much rather have those than potato diggers. I found the driver side fairly simple with a thimble ratchet and just taking the steering column cover loose.

Not entirely sure how I have bitch mitts since I can palm a basketball, just consider myself very dexterous.

On my above note, what gains can be seen from running the intake manifold spacer without tuning for it? I’m on revo stage 2 software so it’ll auto adjust, but what differences will I see?

Never got around to it, thought it would be an interesting thing to install one day but didn't do it. Also thought about using it for injectors/wmi but went with uprated injectors, hpfp, and ethanol instead.
Running just the spacer for the intake without fueling/WMI what sort of benefits would that have?
