I don't think I have that... i've never noticed it anyway.

If there is ever a way to significantly improve the design, lower the cost or make it better for the consumer, we're on it.

btw sound clip of the test pipes + cnt exhaust

a couple laps of me driving Daisuke's 370 on the AMS Roval course

comments from my track instructor:

he thought it sounded great. When i told him i had test pipes he got out a battery operated com device (basically mic and headphone connected by wire for driver to communicate with passenger. After the run he said it wasnt needed, car was suprisingly tame for having test pipes and exhaust. he also notedno drone.

Yes, please re tighten them after a couple thermal cycles. Its the thermal cycles that cause the metal to expand and stretch the bolts.

Its the same reason why Nissan puts their demon cat bolts on so tight in the first place. The stock bolts are literally stretched at the factory by super torquing them... and that is why they never come loose.

They are using a big impact wrench on the stock bolts and they really crank it down.
On the order of wheel lugnut tight.
