I’m going Tein Flex on soft for normal and then let the EDFC Active Pro sort it out when I want a spirited drive. Have had a special button 3D printed for it

Hope you took them to gapplebees!

Don’t know how old you are, I’ve had deafening exhausts and 1.5 KW sound systems. Not sure I want to do that again. I mobile DJ’d with a 4KW sound system which has given me tinnitus . I don’t want a bone hard ride, not a lot of noise, I want comfort, I may fancy fitting a supercharger though

The open dumps are actually not bad. I'm running a virtually identical setup to Madwis and I can tell you it's substantially quieter than, say, long tube headers. It gets loud when you really get on it but it's relatively tame cruising.

No, but it has the warning light on and hadn’t closed properly before winter garaging it.

It did work before I shunted it.

if there's no response from the button...

it could be the wire that feeds power to the top CU is broken.

it happened to my Z last year when the shop who work on the soft top messed it up.:ugh2:

If I remember, I'll do a check on the DB at some point. Cruising with long tube headers and resonated cbe was around 85. I'm guessing it's more like 78 - 80 now.

Busy day. My azz is dragin':icon14: Got up, went to Trax Farms. wifey got some stuff for the yard. Came home, and worked on the raise bed garden. It's all done with some veggies planted. :tup: Now to keep the damn rabbits out. Got a fire started and started to burn the old wood from the bathroom. Weed trimmed and cut the grass. Now camped out in my lazyboy. :tup: Catching up on the forum. :tup:
