PQ, that is one sick ride! Especially love the color scheme. As for the complete Borla exhaust, that's something I'm considering post warranty (cats included, though).



Thanks for the...

Thanks. No luck.

Yeah, the ATAK sounds terrific and aggressive. I love the sound. It's too bad you can't switch between an S-Type and the ATAK.

After giving it more thought, I think I will have...

Thanks. That would certainly make a significant difference! I'm all stock with the exception of a CAI.

So, please, all stock configuration, and a CAI if you have one.

Borla Ride Along

My next mod is a Borla catback--either the S type or the ATAK. I've reviewed many a clip and pored over countless threads, but none have sufficiently given me a feel for cabin drone, which will be...

Holy crap!!! You're scaring me. Now I'm envisioning someone was only a couple 100', smokey burnouts short of all your wonderful escapades in my car.

Ha, lucky you! I'll be lucky to get 16K with none burnouts.

I was concerned about the times I left my car with the dealer all day on three separate occasions. I’d hope the original dealer...

Premature Tire Wear???

I have less than 15K on my P-Zeros and have just about 1/16" left before the warning indicator so I’m guessing these tires won't last much beyond 15K. I've been relatively easy going on these tires...

I would like to have this done in the near future. Out of curiosity, how will this affect gas mileage? Increase? Decrease? By how much? Again just curious, as this will not change my mind one way or...

Great tip. Yes, I would like a clean look so will have to try this. If I had known about this beforehand I would have added a short length of shrink tubing a size smaller for this end.

No headers until warranty is up. Feel more comfortable with catback exhaust for now unless my dealer expresses concerns.



Thanks for the tip! I used a heat gun and got it plenty hot. I've...

Sorry if the exhaust comment was confusing. That's my next upgrade which should complement my CAI upgrade. I need to save $$$ and do the research.

Quick Test

In the spirit of not going on blind faith (plus the fact it was a simple check), I performed a quick test. I wrapped the end of the shrink tubing with tape to create a smaller opening to focus any...

No. The fit was tight. I'm sure it's fine as well, but I suppose if I wanted to be certain I could place some tissue near the tubing while I have someone rev the engine to see if there's any movement.

C. A. I. Install: Shrink tubing not fully sealed

I installed my CAI from CAI recently and wasn't sure if the shrink tubing has fully sealed around the connection on the crankcase vent tube. I baked it as much as possible without melting the vent...

Any luck on this? I just curbed my 21" wheel and it's noticeable. Thinking of getting a new one and selling this one because I doubt it can be fixed.
