Exhaust mod

My first mod. Couldn't stand the fact the left side port wasn't going black. Also didn't care for the silver flash underneath. Rustoleum semigloss black to the rescue!

I disconnected and opened the flap so the pipe will get dirty like the other side without the flap.

Woo that does look pretty good.. I might have to do that before it really snows. As for the flap, you could have just left it on sport mode to keep it open.. for some reason on the m35i it opens the second you put it into sports mode vs pretty much every car that only flips open after xxx amount of throttle.

I do leave it in sport but the darn thing stayed clean. I guess time would eventually fix it but the muffler would still be silver. Also I really don't want to wire it open right now. I'd prefer to drive the car as-designed for the time being, until I learn it better.

Took a drive in western MA yesterday and have to say the transmission is uncanny in "double sport" mode (car in Sport, transmission in Sport). It homes the rpm in the 3000-4000 powerband and the car is right there when you need it. Also, loving the downshifts as you modulate.

Yes, it’s great on track or the twisties but kinda ass in traffic, probably look and sound like someone who can’t drive stick.

Also I kinda hate that the “rev match” boosts torque and hp so much that you lurch.

But when the fun is kicked up, boy howdy is it perfect.
