I'm kind of in the same boat, I have done a number of mod's, car goes better, wind noise is down, handling much better, but FE static, so there must be something sucking up those improvements and it is quite possible that it is the wake gaining more intensity as the flow elswhere improves.
I will continue smoothing things out and may try look at some trip mechanism then to see if it changes things, for better or worse.
