    CT4-V CT4-V BW Exhaust

    Hey OP, now that you have had this installed for some time-- what are your overall thoughts on drone? I would like to keep the valves closed setting as close to what OEM is-- Does yours drone when cruising at highway speeds with valves closed on this setup? or is it close enough to stock to...

    CT4-V What modification won't trip the CEL?

    I resisted for as long as I could----- What will a gigs ported TB and green air filters do to a car with no tune installed? I know it may command a little less boost, but is there anything to gain? Just trying to get my feet wet with some bolt-ons before fully committing to a tune (and kissing...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    took it to the dealer for some stuff -- oil change/general service @17.5k miles recall for wire harness performed - mine had no issues apparently ordered a replacement driver side tail light that is collecting moisture when wet happy friday

    If you have the newer intelligent garage doors it is a total pain in the ass but this video made it easy enough to follow along (including clearing out what is already programmed)

    All season tire - Michelin All Season 4 vs Continental DWS 06

    Same exact size as OEM, 255 up front and 275 for the rears. They are nearly indistinguishable unless you can see the treads from behind imo. I would also like a set of 265s up front and potentially even wider out back if possible for summer use. The R888R is available in 295/30r/18 — I wonder...

    track mode with PTM on race 2 - no manual shifting with paddles --------------------------------------------------------- IIRC slip target 12% 1600RPM - reduce if you are losing traction from a dig

    CT4-V Blackwing Recipe for better times

    ^^this is my overall best 0-60 time so far -- this one was on all season tires, @ 70*F, using custom settings with RPMs set higher than auto had them at launch. My best times on the OEM summer tire are a back to back 3.8 & 3.9sec 0-60 on a newly paved road. The first few were trash, so I...

    I go with the non-runflat version. runflats ride like crap and fail faster than a traditional tire IMO

    CT4-V Billy Boat Exhaust

    I reached out to Borla first because they did a ton of R&D on the NPP system for the ATS-V. In theory, that system should be optimizable for the 4BW with little effort. It also sounds terrific in person. Deep, but far from raspy and obnoxious on stock downpipes. It is dyno validated as well...

    Regret not getting carbon fiber.

    I had to go on a treasure hunt in my PC for this one haha (please see SM specs in pic above) All PSI readings assume OEM tires (the shoulders on TPC spec tires are from a cup 2 and are specific to the BW) Lower the starting pressure for track use - it should increase to 35psi when all warmed...

    Regret not getting carbon fiber.

    Thanks for the PDR film -- crazy question -- did you have your toe and camber set more aggressively prior to road course use? A street alignment on any track will contribute to enhanced screeching and squealing at 8/10ths and beyond effort/pace -- it translates into the feeling of not having...

    Regret not getting carbon fiber.

    What was the cumulative time to install all of the CF bits? I would like to purchase the whole set and install it myself, but I also have a close friend who does body work if I will need some help. Trying to gauge it out/see if its a feasible DIY Also, I absolutely dig the CF on shadow...

    All season tire - Michelin All Season 4 vs Continental DWS 06

    I went with the PS4S A/S on my OEM wheels for a dedicated winter set (sizes 255/275) The short answer is yes they are more stable in the rain and you do get some more feedback before snapping loose in the cold/wet like the stock tires do below 45*F. The ride is slightly quieter, and a tad...

    World's Quickest CT5-V Blackwing?

    front looked like the OEM PS4s rear tire looks a lot like a toyo r888r due to the pattern near the sidewall but it has two grooves when it leaves a treadmark in the prep at 6:19 in the video on YT

    Anyone ever see these exhaust tips on a '22 CT4 BW before?

    I wonder if it was aligned with the track/road course specs. That camber looks super aggressive
