No that's not normal. When I took the car in, they did what I have asked them to do and to look at. And I never had to wait weeks for an appointment.

Yea :) I tell them that the only thing that touches paint is air and water.

Yea, but our kids don't. Mine has a piece of PPF put on the door edges. It has taken a few nicks, from what I can tell.

Downpipes without a crossover on an LF4 sounds pretty bad. That was understood a few years into the ats-v life cycle. And the deal about downpipes without an CEL.....If they are not reducing cat efficiency (since there is no CEL) to flow better, what makes them less restrictive than OEM?

Its a 4 but no reason you cant do the same. Two sets of Vibrant resonators of two different sizes.

There isn't much to it. All the screws that hold it together are now exposed. Just take a look at it and it will be very obvious.

The bushings wear out very quickly and shifter starts moving around. Creative steel makes bushings that last longer than OEM.

Its a direct linkage, not a cable. The shifter is mounted right on the transmission so yes it will vibrate. I also noticed this characteristic when going from a wrx to an atsv. That's why it is so direct. Nothing to worry about.

Well, I think the fun is in driving the SAME car faster each time. Not modifying the car so it can go faster with the same skill and effort input.

Is driving faster really what makes it fun?

Yes. Its louder than it came out in these clips.

I reached out to them about adding a resonator to the loud path as I don't like the sound of the straight pipe exhaust on this car. They can do it for an nominal upcharge. The whole exhaust was quoted under $2k shipped. Its a good option. I ended up doing my own thing similar to the OP's, which...

SOLD!

Tapout Carbon Fiber Air Intake Box w/Oversized MAF Tubes. Includes Green Filters. Like new condition. Decided to get the car tuned so wouldn't be needing it and I don't care about the look under the hood. Buyer pays shipping from IL.

No. You are thinking of the 4wd thing. Its a good idea to keep the circumference of the rears closer to each other than not, because of the dif, but irrelevant on the front.
