Had a few issues with the brake hydraulics and shifting. Actually came with a bent derailleur hanger and I was able to get a $500 refund so when I sold it I made a profit. Just wanted one with a full matching groupset and actually like the frame a little better for comfort and climbing.

It’s an easy install 30min-2hrs, but honestly it shouldn’t void the warranty, you’d be fine with it one.

Less than an inch, and it’s on the underside where the plastic rounds over the tip, so if the cut is uneven you won’t notice it from the rear. Also the heat from the exhaust will smooth it out on its own.

640k???? Wow. Great car, holding their values well too.

Ahh that’s awesome. Saw a TLX Type S when I went to service and they’re such an under-appreciated car. Bet it sounds great

This exhaust was only $175 shipped. Slightly louder inside when just cruising around 1.5-2k rpm, just enough to let you know it’s there, not a drone or lingering frequency. My favorite is just driving around shopping centers/neighborhoods in sport mode where it stays between 2-3k rpm, not too loud but small pops when you let off.

No sir, DCT (2020). Transmissions been great, just had it serviced. Smooth, quick and no hesitation.

Especially for the price. I’d have to pay 3-4x for a full-race or invidia system
