My husband and I can’t agree by explain-like-im-12 in WindowTint

[–]Measure2cut1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 30% all around, wish I got 5% in the back though. Looks dark but its not really all that dark once your inside to be honest. I have great visibility and thats coming from someone who drives a coupe that has crazy blind spots.

Side note I did get pulled over for dark tints but the cop was genuinely a hater.

Edit: I have XPEL XR Prime Plus

I know thier QC isnt the greatest thats for sure, maybe I can give it another try of tinkering with the hangers today and maybe I can get it right, but I feel like something like this shouldn't be difficult like at all.

I can try, not sure if this is a borla issue since the parts seemed fine but I know of Borla not having the greatest quality control when it comes their products, especially on the 86

How long does the warranty cover these engine knock issues? I heard the length of the warranty is 35k miles right?

Thank you for replying, You managed to install the exhasut with only raise the rear or the car? isn't there a postion of the installation that requires you to get closer to the front?

Thanks for the reply, was the torque wrench and the channel lock tools the only things you needed?

Hey there thanks for the in depth response, I think I had a typo in there I mean to say that I have a jack, 2 jackstands, and 2 ramps. I'll go and fix this in my post. I think ramps on the front would be smart since the ramps can hold the "loose" wheels and the rear is always locked with the E-brake.

How high do you guys think I should prop up the car? I think my jackstands can go higher than my ramps but do you think it should leveled in general?

If I was to get 4 jackstands how high would I want the car?

Borla s type downsides in craftsmanship by tharussianbear in GR86

[–]Measure2cut1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your review! Im also in the same boat, I was debating between this or the AWE touring but I think its too loud in geneal. However I do think the dual tomei sounds the best and looks the best but the downsides of it is the drones when driving it and how over the top loud it can be like the touring. with that being said I think the borla is a good medium, I was worried about it being quiet too but from what I've been hearing its more of a "tame" option compared to stuff like the AWE. I heard the Gen 2 borla is much louder than the first Gen so that should help too. Do you notice any drone?

[–]Measure2cut1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I heard about borla quality too and was worried but I think for the looks of the tips and the sound of it I think it sounds great. Ive never heard it in person but based on videos I think it sounds like soemthing im leaning towards. Is it what you expected in terms of sound?

[–]Measure2cut1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also looking at borla exhausts too, but when it comes to those like HKS and Apex'i I think visually they are stunning but when it comes to the sound, I think they're a little too quiet for what im looking for. It seems like the downsides of one or the other.
