It's deep. Really deep. 
How's 6th gear drone?
It's the one thing about my exhaust (any aftermarket catback?) that I'm strongly considering a compromise. Other than that, I'm exceedingly content. Everybody has their own priorities for things both pro and con. That's mine in the "con" category. If all I do is coast with steady gas, it's fine. But if you give sixth gear any throttle at all... nnnn-nnnnn-nnnnn.
Maybe it's a 6MT thing with catbacks.

It would be an amazing thing to get a half-dozen different exhaust set-ups all on video from the same event. IDK why I didn't think of that last year.

I saw a 5th Gen Honda Prelude this afternoon on the highway, with understated aftermarket wheels and wider-than-stock tires, looked like 18". Thing is, the wheels had absolutely perfect fitment to the fender and a clean 1" gap all around. It was a thing of beauty.
Sometimes it's the simple things, you know?

Sorry if this is too random, but bumped into this fellow from Japan, he has some real nice photos, and happens to drive a pretty neat looking car

Those wheels are nice. Anyone know what brand/model they are??
I hear it in your video. I haven't checked mine but I will the next time I'm under the car. It definitely sounds like a leak to me. It would be nice to get it up on a lift with the car running with a thermal imaging camera in tow to see where the exhaust gas is coming from. Maybe the gaskets aren't sealing all the way as good as they should be.

Hey guys, I've never lowered a car before and I'm looking to drop the G! Want the same rim size all the way around (19s) of these Velgens http://velgenwheels.com/project/vw-s5-matte-gunmetal/ once I get those new shoes, I wanna drop th car about an inch an a half, from what I've seen Eibach pro kit looks like a good option. I know nothing about camber and camber/toe kits or whatever, so if I got those rims and those springs, what would I need to make my tires last as long as possible? Thanks so much guys, I'm hyped to take the next step and get some new wheels
