Went to channel. First video Justin Bieber cover. Closed channel. Looked up funny cats.
Awh, that song was special just for you! Shame to see you not give it a shot.. :(

Anyways, been a couple of days without hearing from you... I hope the cat videos did you well...

Respond back when you see this,

Goran

I still want my Killswitch cover. Get on it. I thought you were supposed to be this kids manager.
Sorry... sir. - Ira has been too busy with other work, he isn't helping me grow the channel. - I might fire him as my manager.

That might leave a spot open.

Now this would make a cute avatar.

On a serious note;

I just went to my first Cars and Coffee today. I parked my mustang beside two GT350's, & felt quite amazing to have people look at my car and check it out beside them! (I just installed OPT7 Underglow Body Kit, so my car is all lit up)

Forgot to snap a couple of photos of the stang to upload as a Profile Pic.

There should be a next time.

Oh.. .yeah... and I got pulled over for the first time ever last night. - I'll make a whole post about it soon when I get the time.

Long Story Short:

There wasn't a reason for him to stop me, he just saw a red car-all lit up from the underglow on the freeway, and wanted to stop me and see if he can get me in trouble. - I got it all on Dashcam, It was quite funny. - He asked me like 20 questions, asked me to step out of the car. Asked me if I was drinking. Then claimed that there's "No way I could afford that car" when I told him that it's mine and not my parent's.

As I said, I wasn't speeding, swerving, nothing, he checked my documentation, asked me tons of questions, told me that I don't need to "show off my car" because "Driving is a privilege and can be taken away". And.. let me go..

NGL scary-ass experience - those blue & red lights are bright AF but I'm glad I got it all on DashCam. - I'm guessing that's gonna happen a lot if I'm literally a driving lamp with this glowing shit. Looks awesome, I'll upload some pictures soon.

I had a cop walk around looking for "problems". He couldn't find anything to cite me on, so he added an "driver's view obstructed" for an air freshener. Some of them are just assholes looking to make money for the department. Ground effects are just going to attract that kind of attention. They saw a Fast & Furious movie one time, and assume you're Vin Diesel :crackup:. Maybe keep it off unless you're at a show or doing a main drag cruise with other people.
A young kid in a ultra cool Mustang with under chassis lighting. Can't imagine why he got pulled over. Goran, get used to it. You are officially a cop magnet. :like::clap:

In a way, I want to see how many pull-overs I can rack up. - I wanna make it a point to just drive safe as fuck, and see how many will attempt to make a pullover.

If I do that, you think I'll lose? - Say they just end up writing me out for no reason?

That sounds amazing! - How much was installation on it?

Any pics of OP's car..?
Yeah, a fellow Cal. Highway Patrol was getting some food where I was, and I asked him to position his car for a "cool" picture with his Police Patrol. - He said yes, this is how it turned out! I'm stoked.

These days with on-line doctors, should be able to find one who'll certify you have x-ray vision.

Nobody answered the OP's question, of what are the benefits a bov, vs diverter valve.

What's going on Mustang6G Forum!

Okay... not sure if you guys already know, but I just purchased myself a 2018 Race Red Premium Ecoboost Mustang!

I don't really want to make any Engine Mods on it. - IF anything, maybe an intake..? But I'm really not big on modifying the engine, I like to pimp out my car exterior-wise!

Anyways... something I DO want to get, though, is a Blow-Off Valve... of course, for that "PSSHHH" sound that we all love. - It's super cheap, and I am more than willing to install it at an actual Mechanical Shop.

But I've seen LOTS of people with it, and LOTS of people saying it's not "good" for the car, as well as LOTS of people saying it can't hurt.

My view on it? - I'm not sure how redirecting air can mess with your car...?

Please let me know what the case is...

Thanks guys!
Why not just disconnect the recirculating pipe and cover the hole with a bung. Cost nothing and you get the same result?
