Oh I didn’t mean it’s gonna be too tame, I just meant it’s probably quiet/close to stock around town which is perfect for a DD. I’m sure it opens up when you womp on it.
And yep, agree with your last part about the track version. The video makes it sound very civilized and I’m sure it’s a lot...
I imagine with the touring, it'd be pretty quiet. The track looks pretty unrestricted though and I'd bet that thing is going to be loud as shit. I rarely drive on Sport+ because the Borla exhaust exarcerbates the pops and bangs that it's almost obnoxious.
Yeah right. I'm on both this and the fl5 forums and it's the same case there - bunch of threads complaining about rattles and the "fixes". This whole Japan vs US built thing is just some FL5 folks who want to think their car is superior even though the two are basically the same.
The first two...
I’ve got my fair share of rattles now. A lot of people between the two forums will say “well it’s just a civic in disguise” as if it’s acceptable for something wearing a luxury badge but I’ve never had the same issues in any of the cars I’ve owned - not even a Mexico-built chevy truck!
It’s...
Oh yeah 100%. I meant, I want race ramps because I'd need ramps to get the jack underneath it anyway!
On my old car, I'd use my smaller jack on the pinchweld to raise the car a bit so my larger jack can get underneath. I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to do that on this car though, not to...
@PRDE5 's don't look like they're that long - I"m curious if he had issues.
I want to pick up a set of race ramps for oil changes etc as well because the front jackpoint looks like it's a PITA to get under.
I'd love either one of those toyotas you have (perfect color too). Bummer you had issues with the ITS, but there's a few lemons in every batch and it sounds like you got one. I definitely don't blame you if it soured the experience for you (pun intended).
Personally not a ford guy though, but...
I definitely have it on Sport when I'm solo but whenever I drive the family around, or if I'm on a longer drive on the highway, I set it on comfort. I still think having that option is great.
Man, this sounds really great but I'm a little sus about how it sounds with the track version - it sounds TOO quiet given how it's pretty much straight thru.
The price point for this is excellent though, I just wish it was valved.
I think I may have figured it out - the buzzing seems to be coming from the trim piece right above the rear view mirror. It was buzzing yesterday as I was driving and held that piece and it stopped. Go figure.
I'll mess with it when I have the time or maybe I'll just wait to tape that area up...
Good call on the clamps. This photo was while they had the car and still making adjustments.
I'll swing them around next time I'm under the car if it's not already done so.
Supposedly 3” it lost power stock so they stuck with 2.75” - don’t have an opinion on that. He did mention they went with larger diameter for their HRC system.
I also wish they went with the same size tips but it’s growing on me.
The flanges — I have no clue why they go with this at the price...
