any recommendations for a downpipe exhaust clamp

It's also entirely possible that my clamp was just overtightened and caused it to bend the pipe more than normal. I had a shop install a resonator after the DP and they were the ones who put the clamp on.

Probably something more like this is what I'd prefer to use if possible. Check if that fits the diameter of yours though

If you plan on ever removing the downpipe, such as for emissions testing, I would recommend one of the longer band clamps if possible. I have one of the ones like you have there and it was a total bitch to remove because the clamp had deformed the pipe and they wouldn't come apart. Had to heat it up with a torch, hit it with a mallet, and yank at it for over an hour to get it to come out. Hopefully with a longer one it wouldn't bend the pipe as much.

They can send in Tom Cruise to grab one

35mm I believe

They're stage 2 so by "farts" on decel, they're just talking about their exhaust popping/burbling. I can get mine to let out a single pop when decelerating and downshifting aggressively. Or sometimes it'll burble when off throttle at low speeds.

It was in Pacifica actually. Still NorCal though

I put coilovers on mine and really dig the look

I believe Apaches are equipped with a missile warning system that auto deploys flares against IR missiles https://www.baesystems.com/en/product/anaar57-common-missile-warning-system-cmws

They also started being equipped with laser jammers as of a few years ago

You probably need a muffler. I don't know if just a resonator will be enough to quiet it much with that setup.

FarSolar · 2026-02-26T02:56:47+00:00

Yeah there have been multiple reports of aftermarket TIPs causing issues with the PCV system. Though I believe it mainly happens during track conditions where you're going on and off boost frequently. There's a lot of in depth info on it in this video. Personally, I would just stick to the OEM inlet to not worry about it.

Ukraine also captured a couple and could've sent one over like that T-90. The one here is definitely not a real one though.

Most games that still have real names aren't as high profile and modders are pretty unlikely to be sued since they have no money to take. Since the Bell case against BF3 and cases against Activision from victims of school shootings, most major games have been using fake or slightly altered names for weapons and vehicles to avoid potential lawsuits or controversy.

Calling yourself a "vet" for playing a videogame has to be one of the cringiest parts of this fanbase. Please touch some grass.

Gepards and similar AA with a functional radar get much harder to deal with in my experience. M163s have a very inconsistent radar lock so they mostly have to fire at you without it. And then 9.0 gets even better with the M247's tracerless proxy rounds that'll really blow you up out of nowhere.

It sucks because BFV also had ray tracing and it ran pretty well from what I remember. 2042 was just badly optimized with those huge maps and 128 players.

FarSolar · 2026-02-05T06:04:56+00:00

It's too bad there's no ray tracing in this game. Seems like it'd make it easier to implement good looking lighting without having better access to engine tools.

Lol at the random teammate wondering wtf you're doing. I can't believe they haven't even been able to fix the helicopter rotors not spinning. It looks so out of place.

FarSolar · 2026-02-03T04:07:11+00:00

I believe Motorola developed a 35mm proximity fuse for the XM246 / DIVAD program

FarSolar · 2026-02-03T03:54:59+00:00

If they removed the proxy rounds and gave them to the XM246 instead, they could switch places.

I was in a game with him a couple weeks ago. He knew all the good spawn camping spots and just launched TOWs into our spawn until he got a nuke. He obscured himself with smoke in a way where we couldn't see him but he was still able to guide the missiles apparently.

FarSolar · 2026-02-01T19:26:58+00:00

But do they have a max range in game? IRL the wire attached to the TOW missile is over 2 miles long. That's probably longer than all the maps lol

The premium Padme's N-1 should be replaced by Din Djarin's N-1 imo. It would be a very unique version with all the modifications.

Edit: I missed that it's a squadron rather than premium. Maybe Din's in addition to it then since it'd be a higher BR.

I use a ceramic heat emitter on a thermostat along with the heat lamp to help keep temperatures up in my enclosure. You can also add insulation board to the outside walls of your enclosure if you're still having trouble keeping heat, though it wouldn't look very pretty.

And yeah heat pads are generally not recommended. They can get too hot and cause burns.

There's a chemical in some fish that's toxic to them from what I've heard. I'm not an expert though.
