The exhaust arrived relatively unscathed. One of the tip mounting tubes has some mild deformation, but it shouldn't affect the ability to mount the tips. Otherwise, it is in flawless condition. It was well packaged, with 5-6 insulation layers per piece, and then sealed in plastic. The container...

I'm pretty sure they're all made of aluminum.

Well, here's to hoping we get instructions today!

How does California inspect for smog? Physical validation of equipment? Sniffer test? In Texas, they plug in the OBD2 and ensure both O2 sensors and the EVAP are listed as "READY"—you can have an O2 or EVAP listed as "NOT READY" but not both. If the ECU reports OK, we can have whatever on the...

Finally, I got my dealer plates and transferred the vanity from my previous vehicle. This was a way to celebrate sobriety, one of the reasons I could afford this vehicle.

Got a small version of the car to go with my 9th and 10th gens. That heat soak... ?

If bad gas misfired in multiple cylinders, it could have blown out the valves and gone into limp. 36k miles is barely enough for breaking in the transmission. Engine should be good for another 200k. Whatever it is, they'll have to fix it under drivetrain warranty. ??

This could be as nebulous as a bad batch of gas. How empty was your tank when this happened? What was the smell like? Fishy? Smokey? Electrical?

PRL's support mentioned they were expecting a full writeup with instructions and pictures to be ready this week. I'll have the car jacked up this weekend for my exhaust, so should be good timing.

Honestly, not really. They're not better, but they're not worse. It cools off faster at speed, but heat soak while idling is the same. I'm still missing the rubber gasket to "seal" it to the hood, and I plan to wrap the pipe and air box. I'm also in Texas with a black car—100F ambient, 120F IAT...

Interesting - they transported by plane, not ship, so it's already in Los Angeles. The anticipation is ... aggressive. :dance:

Sample video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1d2QPJbtH4gQN4af6 Amazon Link: https://amzn.to/4eu77dy Installation took about an hour, though I was mostly taking my time. Parts of what I received feel like it was an early sample - the drill holes for the K&N click-in badge on the airbox aren't...

The exhaust will be held together with stainless sleeve clamps, which are not the worst option. Titanium V clamps cost about $300 a piece, so I can't complain. The package has arrived at the regional distribution center at a Chinese port. Getting it processed, loaded on a ship, and sailed to an...

Updated tips.

That's cool to see which ship my car came in. It did indeed arrive at the dealership on 7/11, VIN: 4300's.

It's made. But I'm getting different titanium tips (curved edge, vs open can). Now to wait on freight and customs.

This gives! Nice, dude!

Straight through fat pipes. That sounds awful at idle. A little muffler+resonator goes a long way.

How often were you relocating? I might want this, too, for the entryway to the driveway. I'm scuffing the air dam (not the lip of the bumper) everytime I back out, even at the sharpest angle. But I'll message em and see what they suggest. Thanks for the info, folks!
