Thanks! The mufflers are stock, the whole system is except for that H-pipe. I did record a sound clip of the stock system, I just haven't recorded the sound after the H pipe yet. I've only driven the car for less than 10 miles since it was installed so I was going to wait until I get more miles on it. I'm going on a small road trip this weekend, so once I get back I'll record the the sound now and post the two for comparison.

Flushed my brakes of 2011 vintage fluid and replaced with Motul 600.

Pulled the kids car seats out, vacuumed and then applied leather cleaner, adjusted the belt placement in the car seats and reinstated them. In what felt like about 90* heat. It was awesome.

New ramps arrived today, and I experimented front and rear. So-o-o much better than my old crappy ramps.

Paddle Shifters really do change the game...5 minutes wasted because my steering wheel lock was engaged and the bottom shroud wouldnt come off.

Saw a photo on here with a Q50 shifter installed...that might be next.

Your concrete floor is dirty. I have never seen cleaner wheels, like actually clean, not the phrasing.

Thanks, Jonnny. I've had those Vossens for 3 years and driven maybe 15,000 miles on them, which isn't much. Every winter they get clayed and waxed before going back on the car in the Spring.

The concrete floor is probably 60 years old if not older, cracked and heaving. The house itself is 90 years old, so it's anybody's guess about the garage. Meager as it is, I'm just happy to even have a garage.

uneducated with the ramps idea, but are there benefits to the ramps for your car or more just aesthetically pleasing?

The car is dropped, so I couldn't get the front end up on traditional ramps without first driving up on a board for an extra 1" clearance, and even then I still rubbed a little.

The rears are 275/19 on 10" wide wheels, so I couldn't get the rear end up on traditional ramps at all. Hard stop.

Race Ramps are stronger, wider, longer and taller... all good things.

Took the G on a family road trip to Atlanta to visit the aquarium and children's museum.

Learned that road paint lines are as tricky for decently powerful RWD cars as they are for motorcycles. Nothing bad, just a sideways twitch coming away from a light. Bit by bit I do miss stickshift more and more, but the car is great regardless.

Enjoyed nearly giving my dad a heart attack by dropping my foot at a green light. Less cursing than would've I expected for an old man.

I could have used these yesterday when changing my oil. What a PITA it is to get up on rhino ramps.

Washed it, then ordered an Eibach Pro-Kit from Kyle at Import Parts Pro. Time to drop it a bit. Debating on the H&R 20mm spacers too.
