Usually the first time you have to unlock your phone and "agree" to a pop up. After that it should start after the phone is plugged in. My experience with Android Auto and Apple Carplay is they're both finicky at times. Sometimes it's slow to start after being plugged in or I'll have to...
At WOT your exhaust would probably over power any extra induction noise an open CAI would produce. I hear some whistling noises at partial throttle. Mostly noticeable with the window down. At WOT my exhaust (X-pipe and Steeda axle backs) is so loud It drowns out anything else. Same...
You'll definitely get conflicting answers about catch cans on here. lol. For me I have one (RHS). I like the thought of the oil it catches not going through my engine. Is it helping me? I don't know but not burning it has to be better in my mind. I have had one on the last 4 cars. 100s of...
You could but it would be a hassle. You'd have to run the 93 down to fumes before filling up with E85 and make sure that fuel is through the system before you get on it. The closest station for me always runs between 74 and 77% ethanol. A couple gallons of 93 still in the tank puts me under...
I've always heard good things about Royal Purple and have always been interested in trying it. ( I do use Royal Purple in my gearbox) I just daily my car with occasional "spirited driving" so I never felt the increase in cost would benefit me. I've used Mobil 1 forever now without any issues so...
Congratulations on the new ride! The S550 is one of the best looking cars on the road for sure! I agree that "The stock exhaust sounds PERFECT" but give a few months and then you'll be thinking "maybe it needs to be just a little bit louder" Lol.
I use Chemical Guys or Ethos waterless wash regularly when I don't feel like getting the pressure washer out. It doesn't fully replace 2 bucket handwashing IMO. Also in winter I mostly use waterless wash when the cars are in the garage. Zero worries about scratching the paint as long as...
I haven't had a front plate for the past ten years (5 cars probably). Luckily I was never pulled over for it and Ohio dropped the front plate requirement in 2020.
You can flash the flex fuel tune with a full tank of 93. No need to wait for it to get low. That's the beauty of a flex fuel tune. You can run any combo of 93 and E85. The car will adjust within the first few minutes after a fill up. I personally just stay on the flex fuel tune. I run E85...
I have the FP x-pipe with Steeda axle backs which look a lot like the Roush axle backs. The cold starts are loud. I actually start my car with the garage door down because I'm worried about the neighbors. Normal driving it's sounds perfect I think. It's very loud getting on it but I love the...
Vendors tell me it's not changing for a least another year. Some parts I order for electrical control cabinets have crazy long lead times. On drives, PLCs, e-stop modules and even some sensors I get 10 months to a year lead times on quotes from big name companies. So I can imagine every...
lol. Ok. Let's forget I used the word "overdrive" to describe 5th gear. 5th gear around 40mph for me sits around or below 1600 rpm. A moderate acceleration would definitely feel like i was in the "wrong" gear.
