I keep seeing commercials for this thing called Hum from Verizon that allows you to set speed limits and boundaries for your teenage driver. It sends you alerts if they go over your speed limit and go outside a boundary you set. I'm not sure if this is a brilliant idea, or horribly controlling/invasive.

Lemme knew how this turns out. My UELs made my 3in greddy evogt loud as fuck and droney above 3.3~k. Only s problem on the interstate but I certainly wouldn't mind eliminating that

It is simply how we survive as a species.

No offspring = no survival.
I'm ok with this. I'm a dead end

If I go that route, I'll definitely let you know. I might go a different one, though. I think I'll end up with the catted Berk pipe just because I like the environment at least a little bit.

That actually doesn't sound too bad. It might be a bit too farty for my tastes, but I like the depth of the tone. A little deeper and less fart and it would be perfect.

It actually sounds much better in person, think the farty comes from the camera mic.

Lol my summer wheels, I bought it for $200, so I might sell that instead of sway bars. Wheels weren't suppose to be my car spec (specially w 55 offset)

I don't think, TC105n will rub... but that's a good question. I'll install that tomorrow just in case & test em out. Or just wear that til I can find a replacement
