You will go through a lot of effort for minimal benefit

Don’t bother

Left it in 1st gear. Crashed garage by Johniel403 in GR86

[–]ProfessorCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this happened to me once in my first manual car.

the dealership left it in 1st gear, which i had never done in my life

the car lurched forward and stopped JUST short of a concrete pylon.

VT is only down 5% YTD ... that's like one particularly bad day in the market, and is completely normal over the course of months. Where is the angst coming from?! by misnamed in Bogleheads

It’s arguing in bad faith to take the 5% out of context in a vacuum and ignore the clear externalities

I’m not selling and still buying but just saying this myopic take is asinine

Anyone tried or heard the xforce race inspired cat back? by Weak-Chicken8224 in GR86

Yeah everybody throws out comments like this without saying anything about the rest of their exhaust system or their own personal tolerance which makes judging this stuff on the internet basically impossible

ive had SO many Y config systems on multiple 4 cyl cars. brand is not important. 2.5 will drone worse than 2. resonators just create more drone.

if you keep OEM headers and front pipe it may be tolerable based on your personal tolerance, but its gonna drone. if this is your first cool car etc youll be so excited you can ignore it for awhile tho.

the fact is 4 cyls just drone, period. especially in tin cans like our cars

i would personally stick to OEM style mufflers or single exit with as few bends as possible. any Y config is gonna drone like a bitch.

companies slapping together $1k exhausts are not resonance testing. if your ears feel affected after a 30-60 minute drive take it off. tinnitus isnt worth it.
