tesla ride was actually pretty good. thing def has the torque that they brag about.

started out and first thing the girl tells me was "punch it!" she regretted that decision lol i tried maxing that bitch out in the first 10 seconds of being in it.

the test ride also sold my pops on wanting to get my mom the tesla suv next year when it releases lol

Still don't have my exhaust damn you FedEx. Was supposed to be sent to an office for me to pick up last night and they never sent it out *sigh*. Hopefully I'll have it today.

F, you think 2 jack stands should be enough or do I need to get the whole car up (aka 4 stands)

FPenvy

Ummm id have to say 4 would be ideal. Not 100% since I did mine on a lift. But if I didn't I would think having the whole car in the air would be better to drop it all at once. And also to put the new one on with plenty of space to work on it.

FPenvy

Dammit. I thought about that this morning on my way into work. Only have 2 jack stands -_-. Would your friend be opposed to me possibly being an inconvenience and using his lift for a bit?? I can provide money or beer or breakfast or something if needed

going to watch it now

FPenvy

His lift is at his business. I had to schedule something during business hours and everything ya know. Not like at his house or whatnot. That would have been easier but oh well it got done lol he hated me later considering it took 4 hours to get the demon bolts on the cats off lol

YouTube channel name is the same as my name on here. Fpenvy.

Damn. Hmm maybe I'll have to find some rhino ramps or something I guess.

Also I found it and have been going through some of your exhaust vids. That thing sounds mean but LOUD. I will make it a point to hear it in person one day.

Meant to comment in here earlier. Got the exhaust installed over the weekend. Took me a hell of a lot longer to get the stock exhaust off than expected because the bolts were so rusted. I wound up having to pull the mid pipes off with the muffler because even with penetrating oil the bolts were just rounding.

Other than that I had my gf help so it was nice to have a second set of hands. The tips aren't lined up in the back but after the ordeal to get the stock one off I didn't care to take everything back off. Did some adjustments on Sunday so the midpipes don't rattle on the cross member. All in all loving the exhaust

FPenvy

which exhaust did you go with again?

ARK Grip v2

Next year I'll probably get some Motordyne ART pipes or maybe Stillen g3's.

LTH in a few years and most likely powder coating or painting (haven't decided yet) the sport rays

FPenvy

ahhh ok i couldnt remember. i was gonna say if got a fast intentions exhaust there should be zero fitment issues unless it was used and someone beat it up when putting it on or taking off lol

Yeah I don't think it is necessarily a fitment issue just an adjustment that I would need to do. It doesn't bother me enough to go through it again. Maybe later I'll consider it but for now I'm just enjoying it how it is.

No show car but I'll probably talk to the vendor anyway

FPenvy

where's rusty?

how odd is it that yesterday i was looking into doing the track day on the 25th with you guys and this morning while getting a drink at the sunoco on the way to work a guy approaches me (i figured it was about the Z as usual) he says "thats a great car. it sounds great too." he hands me a card he's an instructor at pitt race and said "you should come out on the 25th, i bet you can put down some good laps in that."

i then told him how i was alreayd lookin into it and i've been there many times before. plus i'll throw the real exhaust back on damn thiese mufflers being on for inspection.
