Cool, look forward to enjoying some nice weather and do a cruise.

Yes, Saturday night I'm in AC for Tiesto. My head will be hitting a pillow somewhere around 5AM or so. I'm going to sleep like a vampire most of Sunday.

No I haven't to be honest. I do think its either in the suspension or the brakes. It seems like if the nose pitches at all it knocks... IDK though. How would I check something like that? Sounds like something I def need to look into.

Thats awesome, I hope he does well.

what do you mean it is starting to drone? you mean with whatever mods you've added?

my exhaust is loud but sounds good.

everytime pete did a pull on the dyno, he'd get out and be like "well that made a racket."

The exhaust didn't drone before, but now at around 3k rpm, the noise sounds like it's coming from inside the car. I dont mind a loud exhaust, but I dont like ones that drone badly. I haven't added any mods, so nothing should change the sounds. I'm guessing the fillers in the canister are beat! Whatever...maybe I should just run straight pipes like you!

they aren't quite straight pipes but i don't think much sound deadening is happening in there.

mine drones like an SOB at 3k rpms. it comes from underneath the center of the car so i figure a mini muffler would take care of that but i am not going to mess with this great sounding exhaust.

my neighbor told me that my car is way louder than his harley. i told him he's a lying dick.

Hahha. Your exhaust does sound pretty good. I also like Shane's straight pipes! But I my car way more than you guys so that's not going to work. I like to listen to music here and there! Mine is definitely lower than the Espelir I had a year ago. WHile we're on this. I was talking to the girls at the hotel last night, and they were saying how they know when I'm coming or leaving because of how loud my car is... what a joke! But that started like an hour conversation with two hot chick so its cool...........
