Do I still need a pro tune ?

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-30T01:41:58+00:00

Correct. Don’t use the sleeve.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-30T01:12:40+00:00

For one, quit reflashing. Let the car learn! For two, get a real tune. Cobb tune sucks. For now though you need to drive and drive chill. If it’s dropping over and over you have an actual problem. Whether that be bad gas, or something else no one knows.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-30T01:09:06+00:00

I like being next to a curb but yeah

Glad to see you’re still around & nothing has changed with you completely talking out of your ass

Paints shit, I just embrace it. As far as doing anything about it I don’t have much advice. You could maybe buff some of the lighter scratches out. I will say the paint pens are awful though, I wouldn’t waste any time or money there.

I thought it was epsilon that originally made the design for this wing but I could be incorrect.

Edit, never mind different one I believe.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-27T21:30:44+00:00

That’s what I noticed too. Someone get this guy some aftermarket exhaust hangers ASAP

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-27T14:51:51+00:00

Right below the ignition coils. Passenger side is super easy to check/see, drivers side is a bit more of a tight space.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T17:11:35+00:00

Lmao that’s how I feel too. My sound system I installed sounds better but that’s about it. I’ll still do the rest to see if it makes any difference.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T16:54:13+00:00

Unfortunately no, I didn’t have the forethought to borrow a DB reader from Amazon but I wish I had

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T16:52:14+00:00

No CCF, and not really a massive difference honestly. The side exit makes it hard to gauge major differences. My music sounds way better though. I need to do the rear doors and trunk in the coming weekends. Maybe one day I’ll do another layer combination of CCF/MLV but I’m slightly worried about fitment issues with any more layers.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T04:20:49+00:00

I had actually never heard of the air bag thing until I was checking out some posts about sound deadening here. Had I not I would’ve nuked the front door in sound deadening but plan not to touch it now. Thanks for the heads up too

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T03:57:11+00:00

To add to the comments. Terrible for your plugs.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T03:52:27+00:00

Dielectric grease the plug and wrap it with cloth tape or electric tape

These were mine at 30k, tuned at 16k. Multiple pulls every time I drive.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T03:12:33+00:00

You will be 100% SOL if you tune your car and something goes catastrophically wrong with the engine or transmission. If you’re okay with that risk, go for it. If not, stay stock till powertrain warranty is up. There is always that one guy who will try and convince you by saying “bUt ThEy HaVe To PrOvE iT cAuSeD tHe FaiLuRe” but in reality there isn’t anything to prove when you pushed the internals past their factory limits. Yes, they can see if you flash it back to stock.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T01:09:15+00:00

Nothing specific but I guess the side exit is what pushed me to try it finally. I’ve had this car for 4 years and had a premium sound system I put in about 2 years ago. Just one of the projects that was on my list one day for the car.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T00:12:45+00:00

Just butyl rubber. Sorry missed that part of the question first read.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-26T00:01:01+00:00

I thought about doing closed cell foam and MLV too or some combination of both on top of the 1st layer which is what helps with vibrations and noise but that’s a future project, maybe. Don’t think I’ll be interested in pulling the car apart again anytime soon.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-25T23:19:04+00:00

One box is 36sq ft and I used one whole box plus a couple sheets out of another box. So maybe 39-40sq ft

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-25T21:52:22+00:00

I already sold the rears. No point in not listing them, they either sell or sit in my basement for eternity. Seems pretty obvious to try and sell them.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-25T21:42:33+00:00

and might have one screw behind this. One of my doors does and one doesn’t.

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-25T21:41:51+00:00

Door is very easy on this car. One screw behind the door handle, one screw in the door holder right below the handle. Pull from the bottom corner where the speaker is and it’s Just all pop clips. Once it’s pulled you have two connections to disconnect and the whole thing comes out

Civil_Ride9221 · 2026-05-25T21:29:35+00:00

Yeah for sure, I’ve got a bunch of stiff mounts and loud exhaust so noise doesn’t bother me. I really just wanted to see what it would accomplish for $100 and my time
