OK - so I'm 38 and driving a car usually known to be driven by those a lot younger - whatever.
Most of my friends own BMWs or other more luxury vehicles. I'm not impressed nor do I care.......but, I do know that my car is loud. I have the hands free on my cell phone, everyone tells me I sound like I'm in a wind tunnel. It's not the phone, it's the car. OK, the Injen Intake a 3" catback exhaust add to a real nice sound, but it's killer when I'm trying to talk and listen on the phone. Anyone have a similar problem? Anyone else solve it? In the olden days, OK showing my age again, like when I bought my first New Celi - 1991 - they put on Undercoating - it was an option and it made a big difference. Not avail now and I can't seem to find a solution -anyone? |

Loud?
I have 3 mechanical diffs, a HKS induction kit, no catalyst and a 3" pipe. The suspension is rock hard, all the bushes are poly rather than rubber and she rolls on 40 profile performance tyres. Loud is relative.....
