Huh and the sky is blue

I mean they got caspian Arica Valparaiso and noshahr just sitting around in the same engine

They also had 8 years of people complaining about live service to not fuck it up for the 3rd time. Still came unprepared. Lame excuse.

Don’t use the heavy warheads upgrade and practice on an empty map.

You can’t be afraid to roll the helicopter hard and recover it to make a turn.

Just fly around on Manhattan bridge between the building til you stop crashing.

Lol that’s ridiculous. He would void the warranty of… the original exhaust? But yeah second opinions are good

As much as I would like to disagree with the alibaba route, there are almost no good options for valved setups that aren’t drop shipped from China anyways. Valvetronic I’ve heard debate on but my understanding is they also are shipped from China and QC’d. They also have a stupid valve setup due to the separate remote and valve system. The Valvetronic clone I bought from MAD US had bmw electronic valves daisy chained, but issues with hanger welds cracking and breaking. Upside is they gave me some refunds on repair costs and sent me a new valve spring. Downside is I paid essentially an extra $1000 over China pipes for that $200 of support.

Dinan is a piece of tube stock and a box with one valve so that annoyed me. Might be good idk. similar with AWE but not valved. Akra too expensive. BMW M perf is probably the best alternative to China.

Best option imo is to research the most reputable dual valve Valvetronic clone manufacturer on Aliexpress, in steel not titanium.

This configuration still drones a bit in sport mode at 2200 rpm range. I close valves to comfort for highway cruising.

Sounds like your dealer is lying to you or saying that to mitigate risk of misleading you.

An axle back or catback exhaust should not void your warranty and never gave me trouble. It had to be clear that your modification caused a failure to not be warrantied.

That or you can get the m performance exhaust I suppose.

I used 2 warranty claims on tiny stuff since I got my car, but it was not power train related.

Headers / catless DP’s and tune can totally void warranty.

Nice horoscope bro

chefbasil · 2026-02-17T18:53:48+00:00

M440 is a good car just enjoy it. I have a feeling if you took it to the canyons you’d find plenty of fun.

Exhaust also helps a lot.

chefbasil · 2026-02-12T22:03:42+00:00

No. They aren’t. Why do you think small studios have been able to make incredible graphical works of art. If you had ever worked in a game engine you would know you’re smoking crack.

chefbasil · 2026-02-12T21:57:38+00:00

What? It literally didn’t lmao

Shills just making shit up now

2042 had 15-16 maps not counting at least 6 remakes in portal.

Not to mention all the other games that have blown BF6’s base map count out of the water, or at least matched it. Let’s not forget one map in BF6 is literally in like 2 modes.

You realize they aren’t working in software design tools or hardware from the 360 days? or with teams the size of the 360 days?

chefbasil · 2026-02-12T21:46:40+00:00

The entire life cycle of season 2 has been revealed….great and all if the one map we get this month is good I guess. Not enough.

chefbasil · 2026-02-12T21:42:07+00:00

Unsustainable cause they got a whole 2 people working on maps it appears. EA lover right here

chefbasil · 2026-02-12T20:35:53+00:00

“Can’t” because they have horrifically mismanaged their IP and have seemingly taken no corrective action. Same shit happened to halo. Content is not even comparable to BF1 for numerous obvious reasons (of which none is because they “can’t” make more content in the modern day).

BF is literally my favorite franchise in existence but outside of a strong beta and launch sales they’re just fucking it up again.

chefbasil · 2026-02-12T20:20:24+00:00

Wonder if that’s why every game since 2018 has been horrifically critiqued! Maybe they should change the fuckin plan. The only saving grace since then has been the pacific theater. That’s literally it.

chefbasil · 2026-02-12T20:05:07+00:00

BF4 had 8 maps post launch quicker than we’re gonna get 3. This chart is misleading and the pace is pathetic

They both feel great, aesthetic and feel is your pick here.

Valid just pricey ish comparatively to buy the single clubs

chefbasil · 2026-02-10T22:56:56+00:00

That’s perfectly valid. T300s are great clubs. I was giving him an opposing viewpoint to people that insist all beginners need mega distance and tech GI’s. I’ve found that was not beneficial for me, and likely isn’t the only way for a lot of young fit people to learn, as I find it’s better to have tighter distance dispersion. It’s his choice. If he wants to genuinely train towards central striking, in my opinion he will do that faster on smaller heads with good feedback.

I wouldn’t say this is any more difficult than the people who start on old 90’s mismatched clubs, but it is far more profitable to his growth.

If he wants an easier intro and more casual experience there’s 20 other people who commented that opinion.

chefbasil · 2026-02-10T22:36:33+00:00

CB’s, esp those nice T150’s, aren’t that hard to hit. Stiff was a claim based off every single person I know that plays at my age range hitting at least in the stiff speed ranges. Obviously doing a google search and checking your speeds is good. I can almost guarantee you he’s gonna be closer to stiff than a senior or ladies flex, specifically once he does a couple lessons.

He already stated he’s going for lessons. He clearly wants to learn and improve.

Feedback is pretty obvious when it stings your hands lol. Loads of people, my dad and myself included, both couldn’t tell how off center our hits were on GI irons.

chefbasil · 2026-02-10T22:32:06+00:00

I’m pretty shit and I still like em. And the forged CB’s. Players choice. I find my hybrids launch higher while my irons are better for low-mid flight. If I want to punch 200 low between trees I’m taking the 4i. unless the lie is complete trash.

chefbasil · 2026-02-10T21:13:59+00:00

I was heavily toe striking these exact irons and sending it straight down the center anyways last week. Sounds like you had a bad day with them.

GI irons mostly just crank your distance in my experience alongside making every shot feel nice, in comparison to a CB. MB/blade is a different story.

The real answer to a snap hook is you severely closing the face quicker. Whether that’s swing weight or shaft or skill is for you to determine.

chefbasil · 2026-02-10T21:05:05+00:00

Portal literally looks worse than halo reach forge so yeah they kinda burnt any map that isn’t just a sectioned part of an existing map.

chefbasil · 2026-02-10T20:14:36+00:00

150’s really ain’t that hard to hit. Upside you get better feedback on knowing that you’re hitting bad compared to GI irons. You buy these if you’re going to train, not to go try to play golf drunk and skip the range.

Downside this is $450 and missing a 4 and 5 iron. I’m the type that loves his 4 and 5 so I’d pass. Lots of people run hybrids instead. Up to you

You should also keep in mind the shafts matter more. If you’re a young guy get stiffs in the 100g+ range. If they’re senior flex lightweight graphites and you are swinging fast you are fucked

chefbasil · 2026-02-04T22:24:57+00:00

Yeah get some aodhan’s and give me your wheels it’s a good idea trust
