The first time I did line lock I let the timer run out and the car completely bogged down and didn't go anywhere. I read other reports of that too. Ever since, I will do a 3-4 sec spin and then hit OK to cancel it and take off.
I'm assuming when you say you turn both off, you are just holding the T/C button for 7 seconds right? I can't turn off T/C and then turn off AT, if I try that it will just turn TC back on. I have a 17 but wouldn't think that would change.
Yep, I've driven that way a few times carrying things that required the extra room. It does sound a little better but I'm looking to make it overall louder inside and outside.
.... Yeah that's my goal here. Why don't you look at the time frame of those posts about the seats and selling the car.
Also did not know it was against forums rules to start different threads for different questions trying to get as much info as I can.
Yeah videos aren't the best thing but I don't have many local S550s to listen to. I heard Krona in person but on a supercharged car so it wasn't completely accurate. Hopefully I get an idea of the Mach XV this weekend. It's a 2 hour drive though one way...
I was leaning heavily towards the Mach Thunder then realized that's probably way too loud. Then I was leaning heavily towards the Mach XV since it was basically the Thunder but toned down. Then I started getting into ARH and Krona. The Mach XV has a fluttery sound to it on videos that I'm not...
Lol yeah I've seen that video and it sounds good. I think at this point I've literally seen them all.
I think that is my issue, I like and dislike things about all my options. At some point I'll just have to bite the bullet though. ARH seems like the most cold start neighbor friendly option.
Nope still haven't. Keep going back and forth on a few... let me know what price you're thinking when you decide and maybe I'll finally pull the trigger. I am trying to hear a Solo Mach XV in person real soon.
I am still racking my brain over this. At this rate, my car will be bone stock forever. It's already been 15 months of ownership, but about 4 of exhaust research.
My leading contenders right now are:
Solo Mach XV
ARH Pure Thunder w/ H
Slightly behind is Krona (don't think it sounds quite as...
Thanks for chiming in. Would you say the ARH is noticeably louder (not saying loud, but noticeably more audible) than stock at idle and normal cruising? I'd really like to be able to hear the exhaust without having to really get aggressive with my driving. I normally am pretty tame and shift...
The Mach XV is my front runner (at least for today). My concern is still early morning cold starts but from what I can gather online it seems liveable. Do you hear a cold start in person? Was it annoyingly boomy and deep inside?
The ARH sounds good but it sounds like you really need to get...
I did look at AWE but dismissed it for some reason. Maybe I'll revisit it again. But I think that would also fit in that lower group of relatively the same volume catbacks.
That's interesting, I didn't know companies did that. Drawback would probably be sure the cold start is tolerable now but I can't hear it the other 99% of the time.
Since it's nearly impossible to really gauge exhaust loudness through videos, especially when trying to compare different exhausts from different peoples' videos, I'm looking to see if anyone has any first hand real life input as to how these systems may compare to each other, like loudest to...
Just a little update, it turns out what I thought was exhaust escaping through the adapter that slips over the tip was actually just exhaust flowing out of the drain hole at the end of the tip.
Looks like I'm not going to get more than ~3 dB with this. I still can't decide if I want to go the...
