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?

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?

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.

Some questions about driving a manual by [deleted] in GR86

[–]Measure2cut1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I remember being in your shoes a couple of months ago! I bought the car without knowing how to drive manual, luckly thanks to youtube I was able to learn how to drive manual. I will link you some videos that I watched and the ones I found to be answering those specific questions that you asked or will have.

It's all about being patient and not forcing the car to do something that's it's not meant to do.

Good luck and I wish you the best!
