Sure, things could be infinitely worse. But we should still vote to improve our collective lots. Legal weed is the only useful thing Biden could have done for me, and has failed miserably at that one thing !! Regardless of what you think about getting high, it should be about federal...

Congrats !! That is a lifetime for sure......hope it all works out from here.

Ouch. Sorry to hear it !! Should be an easy fix though........

There are threads here with info about ceramic pads. I swapped ceramic pads on a BMW I had years ago and the difference was astounding. I mean dust just disappeared.

Sorry to hear of your pain @My1stCadillac That is sad. I sure hope this one works........

:) So with my truly open pipes it really will be insanely loud. :) I'm considering it since I still have the valves and can calm things down when necessary. I can hardly wait..........

I finally found the truck equivalent. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/04/gmc-sierra-extra-big-bed-debuts-for-those-who-want-a-real-work-truck/

Even with the valves open, stock muffler reduces the sound. My custom bypass mufflers are louder, but not by much. @A Blackwing - i know its subjective, but how much louder is your car with the headers + stock muffler compared to stock everything ? Kooks without cats is the only thing left to...

@Jameson's Viggen - glad this worked out !! Understand you're no EV enthusiast, but it serves the purpose and saves the real jewel - and its free !! Its fantastic that the recent glut of EVs handed you this deal !! I doubt any of us are in the save-the-whales EV camp, but they really do offer...

I know there are many threads on brakes, but simply using ceramic pads on plain ol' steel rotors also eliminates the dust doesn't it ? I haven't swapped them yet since I don't drive it that often, but when I do, this will be the next thing I do to the car. OP - threads on exhaust here too...

The virtual CC feature of CapitalOne is great. I was blown away that nobody else (I thought) offered it. Discover has stood by me since their initial debut in the 80's, but now all my subscriptions use the CapitalOne virtual CC feature after Discover claimed "fraud" and gave me new CC numbers...

#1 - I've gotten random rev-match style throttle blips when approaching a stop several times. Gave up trying to figure it out, and never considered taking it to the dealer. That Ultima RS is fascinating. I didn't know they existed. How much are they ?

I voted ZL1 because I love that V8 sound track. Do NOT get the 1LE package - it is far too brutal for DD.

Sorry to hear about your catastrophic failure. It hurts just thinking about it !!

Don't know how i missed this thread yesterday. I was shocked at how long we were silent - and had my doubts it was coming back. Glad we're back indeed !
