thanks. My boy is insisting on hooking up my car saying "friends don't let friends drive stock" haha but I don't want to waste my time on an "upgrade" that's not even noticeably lol. So yeah I just saw some wheels I really like. If I go bigger I wouldn't go too big though... and that's my issue with the cat..I don't want too much noise ..picky picky picky

Blue, at some point, if you are still in the area, I'll have a BHR midpipe on my 8 again, and you can see how you like that sound. It is only faintly louder than stock, and a bit deeper. Still all the flame throwing, catless odor, slightly more powerful ... glory.

Probably initially, though I'd like to get a Borla on it at some point. Getting catless is more important to me than dealing with the catback.

Like i said before everyone, i fully understand schedules being crammed full of stuff.

As far as im concerned this can be pushed to the end of May, beginning of June, whatever works for everyone else.

As long as i have a few days notice i can take a personal day if i dont have off already.

Im bored @ work..... Guess i should head over there huh...

you can test me Williard.

I've got a couple other projects outstanding. Can fit in one or all of the below:
  • Replace front door amps
  • Install puddle lights
  • Install my new headlight housings
  • Install my new foglight housings
  • Swap my steering wheel
  • Install new front rotors, pads, and calipers

Sad part is I have all the hardware, but haven't found the time. Projects keep piling up.

It's normally because people think of "willard" the rat guy.

Mine is Williard< Last name

Believe it or not they are not pronounced the same either.

But yea, Travis is easier for most people Mike lol.

Yup,

Didn't make the connection.

Thanks Mike.

I'm working in the garage before work, probably how I missed it. Too focused

If $$$ isn't too big of an issue I can recommend the BHR mid pipe. It has a very mild note. Hands down the best aftermarket mid pipe available to us.

I also <3 my stock wheels
BHR ignition is amazing, love that thing too.
Can't remember what else I did.. lol
Research the **** out of the forums here before you touch anything, seriously. Best place for reliable info on upgrading an 8. Just make sure you sort carefully through who kknows what they're talking about and who's just full of it.
Thank you so much for the info. def. Research is important

Blue,

No need to say sorry for anything. You'll get there

Some keep it stock.

Personally i prefer to MOD.

Keep reading, keep learning and if you get stuck there are several people just within this thread you could PM for sound advice.
