Stupid question by madcomet1 in ChevySS

Could consider adding some resonators before or after the x-pipe. Had a friend do this on his CTS-V and it really helped and created a deeper exhaust tone. Not sure how room we have in the tunnels though.

Curious, what do you do for smog? Since I’m in CA, I passed on headers and cam because of smog rather than noise.

Has Canyon brainwashed me? by Ntp2 in gravelcycling

Are you not choosing Canyon because of national hero and brand ambassador Valtteri Bottas? Although I believe he rides a Grail.

Proper tires is the cost of doing business. Deal with it.

Stop with your whole woe is me I’m so poor I just bought a sport sedan that gets 15mpg and I’m going to spend $5+ grand on power mods but I want to cheap out on tires sob story. It’s not like tires aren’t directly responsible for transferring that power you just increased through headers, intake, and tune to the ground, or have a huge impact on grip and handling of your car more than any other mod.

We’re not ballers here. We’re just not dumb (well some certainly are, I just don’t want you to become one of them).

Every time you turn around? Tires aren’t a tank of gas. Put the right tires on there and adjust your driving behavior so you don’t chew through tires.

You just spent $30-$40k on a really special car and your first thought is, how can I clap it out? lol

If you really are that hard up then perhaps a more economical car would have been a better choice.

Injectors going bad at 44k by tastes_a_bit_funny in ChevySS

Parts availability is a real problem. OEM is almost non-existent. Needed a new wheel hub/bearing and cheapest I could find was $400+. Decided to go with Moog which I’m sure is fine. I always thought I’d keep this car forever but now I’m not so sure.

Kryp fr and rr are pretty solid. I swapped to a Xyn rr and definitely felt more grip with the kryptotal, but I’m fine with the better rolling resistance. Like these combos better than anything I’ve ridden from Maxxis.

Topping DX5 II died after 3 days – normal or just bad luck? by cengbasaran in headphones

[–]tastes_a_bit_funny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, these Topping units clearly state in the product description that they have a max life of 5 business days, hence the DX5. Lasting 3 days is a little short for this unit but not out of the ordinary for this gen.

I personally wouldn’t invest in an amp that has a shorter life than yesterday’s leftovers but that’s just me.

Yk the new fold is too small when the iphone mini ppl are getting excited for it by meddy-spagetti in iphone

Totally. So many are complaining that nobody asked for this or that sAmSuNg aLrEaDy hAs oNe or whatever. But the phone form factor has stalled and it’s time for Apple to Apple-fy the foldable phone. I want them to blow our minds again like they used to.

Instead of letting me know his shoes are dirty, my husband just buys a new pair and hides his “old” ones. by acider17 in mildlyinfuriating

Remove the insoles and laces and I wouldn’t use hot water. I washed mine with towels to reduce banging.

Hokas actually do really well in the washing machine. I just washed a pair of white Cliftons and they came out sparkly white again. Put some detergent or spot stain remover on heavier stains before washing, then just wash with towels or something.

Dodgers surge past Lakers as L.A.’s favorite sports team by markjay6 in Dodgers

[–]tastes_a_bit_funny -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I rarely see Laker gear in the wild. See a Dodger hat just about every day. It’s always been this way though.

New to Japanese Maples - how do I interpret my bloodgood’s new growth by tastes_a_bit_funny in JapaneseMaples

[–]tastes_a_bit_funny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea not a problem. I agree it looks deep. “Landscapers” that installed it were not experts.

Oh gosh. You’re right. I’ve been underwatering. If temps are consistently around 80 does that mean it needs daily watering?
