    Even with an external mic my phone sucks at picking up the exhaust. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Another thing to note. The exhaust tone/chop at idle is noticeable different when on 93 vs E85. I’ve always ran E85 until recently. With 93 it sounds more aggressive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It’s hard for me to drop that kind of cash. Ideally I would go with a supercharger. I could see that easily going over 10k, I bought this thing for 20... Might go with a small turbo if the cost savings is enough. But even then idk if I’ll pull the trigger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bought them used and with the long term hopes of forced induction. We will see. No, VVT delete. I’ve had catted vehicles with the same issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Been MIA. Sorry about that. Ditched the dynomax muffler for a stocker. The drone was just too much around 70-80mph after the muffler had 30k on it. I definitely picked up some low end grunt through with the stock muffler back on. The catless 1 7/8” headers and 3.5” factory tubing was just too...

    Sound deadener is in the cargo area. I Probly won’t do anymore of that, just isn’t worth the hassle at this point. It might’ve helped with some of the deep tones but not a ton else. Having a hell of a time with the interior wrap. I can do the easy pieces but the middle cup holders and radio...

    Dickies arena. It’s a couple blocks from my house. Their headquarters are in Fort Worth. Wheels will always be chrome. I’d like to do the handles, fender vents, and some pieces of the grill. If I do all of that I’ll likely remove the wrap on the rack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The weather forecast for the weekend was enough to get me moving today, it’s going to be damn hot. Got all of the doors and roof rack done today. I found a video on YouTube showing how to remove the rear caps so you can access to sliding rails so I went ahead and removed those. So far I really...

    All of the vinyl and sound deadening material has finally made it now that I have zero motivation to get this stuff done. Hopefully that’ll change and I’ll get this finally finished up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Still waiting on the MLV and larger vinyl pieces for the interior. I finished up the door panel trim today on the back doors. The front is slightly larger and the 2” strip of vinyl I have is just too close for me. A pro could probly do it but I am far from that, I need more material I can...

    40 square feet of mass loaded vinyl heading my way. I’ve got a larger muffler laying around that I haven’t tried out. Going to give that a go soon as well. I might add it in conjunction with the round body dynomax and factory resonator. I’ll see how just the swap goes then adjust if needed...

    The satin black wrap showed up earlier than expected. Went ahead and got started earlier. Knocked out the first panel, removed the second, and quickly realized the film was a little small. Go figure. [ Side note. Any model that has the silver vinyl like mine with ridges, they will...

    Did a little refresher on it last night. The closed cell foam won’t make a substantial difference in noise control. Another layer of mass loaded viynl is needed to do that on top of the foam. The viynl is much more costly(3-4 times what the other materials cost). After a few drinks this evening...

    I would cover 90% of the interior if all of it would be out of the car already. I’d love to get the roof knocked out. I would seriously look into closed cell foam if you are considering doing any deadening. From what I’ve experienced and read it seems to be the real factor in cutting down on...

    I’ve read in the past that they do have more sound deadening than other trim levels, but I have no idea what that is. I’m guessing most vehicles don’t come with the pad inbetween the carpet and flooring? It doesn’t cover the entire floor, just certain areas. There is padding in the rear driver...
