On S550s the deepest setup I could find was stock resonator with muffler delete. Probably be the same for S650s but if it's rasp you don't want then stay far away from X Pipes and Corsa anything.
All you have to make sure is the wider tires don't rub on any suspension components and the aspect ratio (xxx/Aspect/XX) is adjusted to give your new tires the same overall diameter or within 3% of the ones you're replacing. Use the tire comparison tool here to find diameter...
Wireless charging is inherently going to create more heat than wired charging and any phone will get warmer than using a cord. Another issue is if the charger isn't positioned perfectly it can generate even more heat. My old phone sometimes would get hot enough on this charger while using...
I removed the cover and filed the bottom down, now my phone with an Otterbox Commuter fits nicely with even a bit of wiggle room on the wireless charger.
Finished piece:
It's just a pin that holds the cover in the hinge. I found the easiest way was removing the wireless charger for more...
I chose to be weird and go with a Celestion full range speaker for my dash. 3.5in, 8ohm, 35w, 287dB sensitivity, frequency range 98Hz-18.5kHz. I just unsoldered the stock wiring from the old speaker and crimped some quick disconnects on I found at Autozone that fit the connection blades on the...
For anyone who had it done, about how long did the dealership have your car? This is my only vehicle and basically the only dealership I'd remotely trust is 40 minutes away.
It's more that I don't have any other choice. All those features are standard or worse on other cars, many are government mandated at this point. I wanted a V8 with a good manual transmission that I could self service for most things, new so I know the full history of the car and could PPF...
$65k-$75k seemed like the sweet spot for the top tier variant, attainable for a middle-classer with a good job and could stand toe to toe with the snob's M4. I wonder how much these cars would cost if all the bullshit were removed like automatic braking, rain sensing wipers (which currently work...
Steeda H-Pipe is hands down the most enjoyable mod I've done, with stock active exhaust it sounds way better to me than the full Borla S-Type catback I had on my S550. I don't regret anything so far but I've had long enough and a few cars to learn what's worth adding and what isn't.
HP tires are lower profile than standard so they'll ride rougher but it doesn't bother me. I like the look and grip of some fat wheels so I'm fine with suffering.
Same boat, like real gauges. I got used to the screens. A matte screen protector over them made a world of difference. Ford uses the shittiest anti-reflective coating I've ever seen. It's completely worn away from where the home icon is on the screen just from my finger touching it, I'm the...
I hate that Alexa is baked-in because the amount of data harvesting from Amazon devices is disturbing. I know my phone is doing the same but if I can have any crumb of control over my privacy I'll take it.
Same. I wanted a Tremec bad, wanted a GT350 even more but the finicky engine scared me away and a Mach 1 was too similar to my GT for me to want to take on a car payment again. The Dark Horse definitely feels like a big step up from my GT PP and for the first time ever I don't feel the need to...
They won't be as good as snow tires but for colder months you can try an all-weather tire. They're basically all-seasons but with 3PMSF certification. If I were in the market I'd probably go with Michelin CrossClimate 2. I rock PS4S until it's consistently below 45F, then I switch to Blizzak 6.
1/8in thick Dynaliner. This video shows how to remove the door card:
My rattle was top of the door card while listening to music. Appeared when it got below freezing and never went away. The card hooks onto a piece of rubber/plastic trim at the base of the window which itself slides down onto...
Whether I can afford it or not isn't a factor. It's a factory defect on a new car with a warranty that could progress to the whole trunk lid rotting. I shouldn't have to pay a dime. The whole, "just leave it or fix it yourself" attitude and lack of holding manufacturers accountable is why...
