Little tiny pointless updates:

Winter status… 225/55/16 Dunlop WinterSport M3’s are on for the snow.

Little bit of exhaust work thanks to Jeff at 1st-Try… Deleted far rear muffler and replaced with dual 2.5" Straight pipes, factory configuration, exits in factory location, just no muffler. Car still has the cat and a small muffler further towards the front.

Old rotted muffler and pea shooters for comparison:

Thanks. I will probably be painting the new pipes High Temp flat black over winter break.

Edit: I also forgot to add my other project over winter break:

I will be constructing a CAI similar to this, since there is plenty of room:

New(ish) exhaust… Thanks to Jeff

Factory manifolds, cat, and resonator. 2.5" straight pipe from the axle back in place of rear muffler.

I had no idea how loud it was from the outside… it’s not nearly as loud inside. Inside videos to come at a later date.

Idle/Revs

Slow takeoff with rev

(Kind of) quick takeoff.
