  1. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    The first time you do it, it revs. The 2nd time it REALLY revs.
  2. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    I think not an option if its a manual. What do you have?
  3. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    I’ve currently made Track Mode my default AE in my Drive Profile, and put Quiet mode on the Star button. I’ve decided I can be quiet in a hurry if I need to, and Normal and Sport Mode are just a milder flavor of fun….so why bother with those 2…lol. I don’t find Track Mode too loud for me...
  4. Best Adhesive for Exterior Applications?

    3M adhesive tape and 3M adhesion prep. The Permatex silicone IMO is only good for creating a moisture barrier to keep water from degrading the tape. Put a bead of Permatex around the 3M tape without touching it. I had nothing but 3M tape hold on a hood scoop and rear louvers for 18 years on...
  5. Removing Oil Dipstick with Ford Performance Strut Tower Brace Above It.

    As I’m getting more familiar with my car, I was trying to figure out the best way to remove/ replace the dipstick with the Ford Perf. Tower Brace directly above it. (I installed the brace) Removing it, isn’t bad, it just pulls off to the side of the brace. There’s just enough flex to make it...
  6. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    Interesting video. Even in Quiet Mode it looked like it broke 86 db while revving. Sport almost sounded a little raspier than Track. Screw it..I like Track the most anyway for throttle response.
  7. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    Good luck on your buy and enjoy your ride home! šŸ™‚ Maybe take some back roads and a few extra stops to help mix it up.
  8. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    The car you want is 500 miles away? 500 break-in miles done on the highway is really frowned on in the manual. Considered one of the worst things you can do. Have you considered a professional transport? Not too much more than buying a plane ticket. And you’re not getting your new car with...
  9. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    A black car…in Texas?!? You can cook breakfast on your hood in Summer! 😲 Red is a better choice IMO just for keeping the car cooler.
  10. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    My hearing is fine, and cruising in Track Mode AE, it’s just a faint rumble underneath. I can hear the stereo just fine even at the lowest volume level, and conversation inside the car is easy. When I get on it, it’s a nice rumble, but not deafening inside the car. So I don’t get the articles...
  11. Automatic or 6-speed - honest feedback

    Npole…good stuff! Actually just today was the first time I really concentrated on driving my A10 in Manual mode. 10 gears was not as tedious as I had feared, and yes, quick downshifts did exactly as you described. Downshifting while decelerating was really cool. I had more fun than I...
  12. Traction Control

    In theory adding weight centered over your rear axle will help with traction in snow. It does…a little. But take about 40 lbs and stuff it as far behind the rear axle as it will go, and stuff it as far to ONE SIDE of the car as possible, like the Shaker 1000 subwoofer, and watch how fun an...
  13. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    I don’t have a manual, but I’m pretty sure you can get active exhaust as an option for the manual.
  14. Active Exhaust - Meh?

    Mellow cruising below 1600 RPM is relatively quiet in all modes. The car is also isolates the exhaust sound much more than expected when inside with windows up. Put the car in Track Mode and stand behind it and activate remote rev. Be sure to hit remote rev twice because the 2nd time is the...
  15. Automatic or 6-speed - honest feedback

    Lol…My 06 GT felt prehistoric compared to this ā€˜25! RE: Fuel…I remember panicking when they did away with leaded fuel! The lead was supposed to lubricate the valve seats. I had a 72 Camaro at the time and was worried about valve tap.
