I applaud your patience. Then again it's not like your cruising around on oem's either. Your current setup is so clean with the malbec black.

Thank you very much!

John I'm having the faces of my Volks coated in Translucent Copper and my Calipers coated in Illusion Purple.


On a side note, I peeled off the plastidip this past weekend. Back to gunmetal, also touched up a couple nicks that were on them.


So crazy part, I have been hearing this clucking noise for about 2 months now give or take. Very hard to explain but would occur only when going over bumps slowly. Was driving me crazy and I was checking literally everything I could think of on the suspension, exhaust, you name it. Well the rear passenger wheel, has the TPMS loose in the wheel some how!? Havent hit anything, tires were put on at the dealership so I now have to try and discuss this with my adviser.

Part of my black friday goodies have arrived. Motordyne resonated XYZ ariived last night.

I must say I am thoroughly impressed by the qulaity of parts, build, welds on this thing.

I did install it last night am honestly not sure its what I was looking for. My exhuast is still loud but that certain GtHaus tone is not there nor are all the gurgles and pops.

One thing I did notcie when taking off the GTHaus Y was that I had a bad exhaust leak. So now that I bought some very high qulaity gaskets I'm 1/2 tempted to throw the GTHuas Y back on to compare.

I can say that the Motordyne has given my overall tone a very CLEAN tone now so its hard to argue. More to come as I'll get some vids posted soon.

I'm assuming the GTHaus Y pipie was not resonated? Could be why you're not getting those pops/gurgles anymore.

You are correct. So now I’m contemplating adding some Art pipes to live. It back up with hopes that they don’t introduce rasp. We shall see

You may get some rasp from the ART pipes. I love mine though. When I initially installed them (which was a b*tch to do!) I wrapped them with header wrap and sprayed it down with black DEI Hi-Temp Spray. Part of me wants to say that helped cut down on the rasp/noise but who knows lol.
