Good news: looks like ants have migrated, either by their own or by me spraying them with a vinegar/water mix and swiping them off the car.

WARNING: For anyone using KT-Tape to relieve muscle pain/injury, be very careful. I followed the video instructions, wore the tape for ~15 hours, and upon getting home, I found A LOT of blisters, 2 of which are large and open. The blisters follows where the edges of the tape were.
To make matters worse, I didn't really feel any benefits from it either. So I still have my shoulder pain and now all these blisters. |

I've used a massager, Biofreeze, and ice; all of which only help a little for a very short time. I took ibuprofen for like 10 days, and if it did help, it was only for like 10 minutes of relief.
I just need to be on light duty at work to give it some rest. |

Posting this here in publicly so that it can be referred back to when I decide I need a new exhaust!
I am seriously loving this Tanabe Concept G single exit catback paired up with my Motiv FP. It's super loud and aggressive with plenty of pops/gurgles/backfires. It seems to give a nice pop between 1st and 2nd gear around 60% of the time, and from 2nd to 3rd around 10-20% of the time. There also seems to be a few areas of the RPM range that will reliably produce a pop if you shift at them, but it's kinda hard to reliably hit them. Rev matched downshifts sound loud and crazy in the car, I can only imagine how they sound from behind! Also, if you're coasting and letting the revs fall from 4k-2500k while just barley/lightly "feathering" the throttle, you get treated to a repeating symphony of machine gun like muffled pops and gurgles as the revs fall. It's really easy to do and it sounds awesome, especially if the exhaust is really hot. I need to figure out a way to record this from the outside somehow. It's basically a straight pipe/muffler delete disguised as a Japanese N1 looking canister. There's no perforations inside the "muffler" section's piping, just a smaller diameter pipe that the exhaust gets forced through. So I guess the smaller piping in the rear section could be considered a type of muffler, but really there seems to be very little to no muffling going on. I also love the look of the angled exit and the fact that it's a single exit. I'm gladly leaving the other cutout wide open, I don't care at all that it doesn't look symmetric or whatever. Completely satisfied with the look and sound of this race exhaust!

Everyone's perception and tolerance of drone varies, but the exhaust does have a low bassey/boomey component to it's sound quality. It does have some drone while cruising around town, especially if you are trying to go uphill in too high of a gear.
However, at 80mph in 6th gear the drone is very minimal and not annoying in my opinion. Easy to tolerate and even have a conversation with a passenger or listen to music. But again, everyone's idea of drone is different. Some people think that a Greddy Supreme SP or Perrin 2.5 drones.

Man!! I thought 3/4 of the day will be enough but (did not plan well coz other stuff I needed to do today like meeting up the buyer for my exhaust) I guess not. Need to do it again in another day off. Happy w/ the results so far. This is just the before and after shot of the roof. (Well, i only got to do roof, door pillar area and passenger side doore and fender).

...and my foamer (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) broke/stopped working today. What ever it is that creates the pressure when pumping broke since the plunger doesn't have resistance anymore.
Gotta find something else now so that I can continue to pre-soak the car before cleaning it. |
