    Exhaust inlet

    I’m wanting to do this too; either black, carbon fiber or black chrome. Akrapovic has some nice ones.

    Power Seat delays or unresponsive?

    When you have your massagers on, the lumbar support settings that you had on there go away. Once you turn off your massagers, it goes into “refreshing seat settings” which is supposed to set your lumbar settings back to where you had them. I’ve noticed on mine that it changes it from what I had...

    LED Turn Signal Bulbs

    Do you have the specs for the regular LED bulb without the resistor? I have Forscan and can eliminate hyper flash.

    Has anyone changed exhaust tips?

    Let’s see...I believe this post is titled “Has anyone changed exhaust tips?” So rather than trying to sound like the expert, maybe rethink your statement.;)

    Has anyone changed exhaust tips?

    I’d like a set of carbon fiber or black chrome quads that are round and cut off straight; not angled. Maybe 3 1/2” or 4”. Akropovic’s are okay but they’re sleeved and I prefer simpler tips. I’m staying with the stock whisper quiet mufflers because IMO, V6’s cannot be helped as far as sound. I’m...

    ALL YOU CATCH CAN GUYS; How much oil?

    Hey FG! How ya doin? Q1: LOL! I get on it sometimes. Only have 1,800 miles on it. I actually thought driving like a grandma was driving like a dick. Q2: I was actually going to ask that question about the orifice. I went with the middle size. What do you think; the biggest one?

    ALL YOU CATCH CAN GUYS; How much oil?

    I had two different Elite cans, both mounted about 6“ to 10” away from the exhaust manifold/headers, near the firewall. If it sat overnight without getting very hot the day before, I’d see oil/water mix with more water in the colder months, as you mentioned. But after a longer drive and some...

    ALL YOU CATCH CAN GUYS; How much oil?

    Warm air holds more water than cold air. When the warmer crankcase air flows into a cold catch can, the air cools and the water condensates. When the can warms up from the continuous flow of warm air from the crankcase, the condensation evaporates and flows into the intake manifold. Guess what...

    ALL YOU CATCH CAN GUYS; How much oil?

    Colder months will give you condensation along with the oil which evaporates out once up to temp but there’s no difference in the amount of oil vapor/mist from cold to hot ambient temps. I’ve had two cans on two new cars; an LS7 and a 5.3. Both collected oil from the start. I’m seeing no oil at...

    ALL YOU CATCH CAN GUYS; How much oil?

    New engines are tight so not as much blow by possibly. The last two vehicles I had them on were new though too so who knows. I still think it has to be that long run of the dirty side hose. My last two were only about a 1’ long run; and yes they are connected properly and the drain is not...

    Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

    LOL! The ultimate car for the ultimate wannabe.

    Do those underside lights come on when you hit your brakes?

    Sorry that happened. Hoping it’s not one of the “peaceful protests” that did that since you found a pry bar there.

    ALL YOU CATCH CAN GUYS; How much oil?

    I installed the UPR catch can about 500 miles ago and have no oil at all in the can. I thought I did one time but it must have been condensation which evaporated. I had one on a Corvette and one on a GMC truck that would catch oil almost immediately but they had a very short hose run to the can...
