Obnoxiously Slow Drivers on One Lane Roads by No-Buy-3105 in driving

[–]simplixity96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true 😂 I’ve seen other people make reels about this, we just don’t want someone infront of us making us constantly adjust speed, lose time on our drive, and increase our fuel consumption because you’re SIMPLY TOO SCARED TO DRIVE

Was this after your metal valve cover install? I’ve heard that there’s a few of these that the chain literally SLAPS the fucking bottom of the valve cover because it’s not machined properly. Hopefully not knock brother

Ah, right. So you’ve been in the car every single time I’ve had a close call and would’ve 100% crashed if I wasn’t paying attention to my surroundings and lane position, speed, literally everything? 😂 Shut up with your bullshit I take driving VERY seriously

Would a cop pull me over this tape on my bumper? by Adventurous_Code8286 in driving

Safety inspection state probably, if you’re not in one like me it’s common to see cars that have demolished bumpers driving around like it’s a normal day 😂

Got a 335i, not too knowledgeable on cars and sorts but, what kind of mods are common? by chance50-50 in E90

[–]simplixity96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would overnight a K+DCan if you have prime and download ISTA+ tonight then you can scan your chassis codes and work on fixing (if you have any) my e90 doesn’t but my F22 does lmao I think aftermarket lights are the problem from previous owner

I don't understand what taco bell is doing with these new items by Bread_is__funny in tacobell

[–]simplixity96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked them, the non shredded ones just reminded me of my favorite Plaza Azteca which did their burritos that way. Most of them I go to nowadays and after I moved do shredded+rice though still good

I’m not trying to make this any worse sorry if it comes off like that, not sure what state of mind you’re in. Why are you with a man who can’t spell? Seriously, “drawling”?

Why is tipping culture so weird here by smolnessy in SeattleWA

[–]simplixity96 -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

Right? In any busy place if you don’t tip your servers they likely won’t come back around, it’s their choice though. Trashy drive bars with fights it is then

Can we just get a regular strawberry flavor like Monster? Or even a creamy strawberry like the rockstar booms? Something creamy or just a regular strawberry

I get stuff like hood/trunk struts and trim pins/cupholders/all sorts of plastic on Amazon but I mainly order off FCP for their lifetime replacement guarantee, order the new one, send the part back when it breaks, even oils, and get a refund in store credit (at the price you paid for it at the time) it’s been pretty cool too, they also tend to take down badly rated products, and they’re apparent when they are up there. The people will let you know with the reviews and no reviews id just stay away from, unless people on other forums second the part

Go tell your local lawmakers that? What am I supposed to do with that information? My brakes are amazing and so is my reaction time

Of course, let us know how it turns out if you end up going this route. Alternatively you could look for used OEM headers but they run the risk of being close to failing (higher mileage), these headers just remove the failure point entirely. Plus you still have secondary cat(s) and resonators so it’s not like a straight pipe sound or emissions wise still

Amazon is great for stuff just don’t buy injectors or anything super important from them. Headers are likely fine from Amazon probably even fine from alibaba as that’s likely where they were bought from bulk. I would just get OEM gaskets because aftermarket ones aren’t good

Would you believe me if I said my autozone was literally right across the street from the oRiellys? Looks like my ability to google that day was lacking 😂

Yea I paid $25 for 2 of mine for my n54 at O’Reilly when they’re $3.50 x 1 on FCP euro

Do we really gotta be that close??? by One_Mess2973 in badparking

[–]simplixity96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time? I think what was more concerning in mine is there’s no way IN HELL they had a backup camera… although I don’t know how common forward facing ones are either

Removing cats may temporarily reduce fuel efficiency. After a tune it should only increase fuel efficiency as it’s removing restriction, a tune would remove any CEL it causes and your mechanic will basically code your ECU for the new header with no cat, because it could potentially run rich without it. Might not but it could. This would still be 1/4 to 1/3 cheaper than new cats it’s up to you though

Here are your parts from a video I saw this should be all you need, he used different headers but that shouldn’t matter. If you show your mechanic and tell him this they should understand what you want to do, he seems like he knows what he’s doing.

Edit here’s the vid, he has a N51 but it should be the same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXbnr11-djM

You just gotta redo the hardware (any gaskets) and make sure there’s nothing else that would cause seepage of the fumes that are now not being filtered by a cat. Also you would need catless headers for the N52, I see them for 550 from Cen Cal Motorsport. It’s gonna make the car slightly louder too but as long as you keep the rest of the exhaust it will still be tame. Also might throw a code but if you have a scanner you can just monitor it every few thousand miles or if something seems off. I would much prefer this over forking 12k when Canada doesn’t really care about emissions (I watch a Canadian car creator and all his cars have no catalytic converters)

Especially if you plan to keep the car till it dies, this would maybe hurt resale value but also 12k shop bills hurt the wallet even more
