WOW. We're on our 2nd battery on my wife's 2015 CX-5 - kept outside in the sun, driven every day.

Conversely my 2023 work car is in the shop because a software update isn't allowing the starting battery to charge. :shrug:

My wife's Forester is 6 years old and 82K miles now, same original battery.
My G is on its 3rd, but I think that's because it sits so long, I was killing batteries. Now I use a trickle charger.
My kid's Sentra is on its 5th battery, which sucks for a 2013 car. I blame the remote starter.

Anyway, today I finished cleaning the last of the summer wheels, so that's what I did today to my Sedan.

Coming up on 11 years of ownership, and finally dipping into non-cosmetic mods. Picked Motordyne having never heard one in person, so bit of a risk. Will see how it goes…

Can't go wrong with Motordyne.

Get ready for "I can't believe my car sounds like that!"

But in a good way.

First video sounded better, IMO. Fantastic, actually.

Unboxed and all packed up for the install later this week. Those Helmholtz resonators seem bigger than 2L soda bottles !

( this design element of the MD system speaks to the engineer in me)

Me too. I've always been Helmholtz-curious.

I'm excited for you, man. After all these years, you're going to have so much fun with this new exhaust.

A lot of changes since I first posted on this forum, but I did ceramic tints today, 80% windshield, 20% on the rest.

Also couldn't help myself but to take a picture of how she sits in the garage. Big day tomorrow pending installation of Whiteline differential bushing and alignment.

How difficult was it to replace this ?

Very easy! Remove the 2 kick panels, peel the carpet back to see backside of the dead pedal, use a flathead or something similar to pop the clips off, and then install using new clips. Can't say it will take more than 15minutes.
