what is the best exhaust? I don't think many people get chambered exhausts anymore.... there are many straight thru exhausts that are quiet on turbo cars.... not sure which ones though

i heard that hks, fujitsubo are very good.. but some others like buddyclub are loud ass.

Doxx,

The guy who bought the Super Dragger off me said he needed two resonators to quieten it down. Otherwise the booming sound is enough to trigger all car alarms when you drive past.

So when you bought one, make sure you also get the middle pipe that comes with the resonator, otherwise, trying to fabricate a 3.75" pipe to suit your dragger might not give you the best result as getting the original HKS middle pipe.

Putting in resonator might decrease flow, but in terms of HP gain without resonator compared to the amount of cop attention you'll get... is it worth it? Unless you're going for the track all the time, you may not need it.

I got Trust system front pipe and cat-back. It seems to me that when I put in front pipe, it is not as loud as cat-back only. Maybe the way the gas flow from small pipe onto the big pipe creates a big noise at the cat before. Now with front pipe in, it may creates that noise right after the dump pipe, and by the time it reaches the back, that noise has been long way supressed in the piping.

That's just my theory.... Might worth considering getting a matching front pipe as well.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
