    Thermal 2.5" vs 3"?

    Personally, I don't like the sound of any axle-back ST exhausts. Mid muffler make a huge difference.

    Thermal R&D 2.5" installed

    Every car will be slightly different. What worked for me was pushing entire exhaust system back about 1/2" between mid muffler and flex pipes to allow for additional exhaust tips extension. Then aligning passenger side to perfection (easy). Last and the most pita part was to align drivers side...

    Single bolt diff brace, cold weather driveline vibrations

    Steeda seems to be the same thing as livernois and similarly priced. Any thoughts between those 2 and id?

    Single bolt diff brace, cold weather driveline vibrations

    Anyone experienced additional vibrations after installing the brace? One review for steeda talks about noticeable vibrations after installing the brace.

    Single bolt diff brace, cold weather driveline vibrations

    Thank you. Red spray paint... Those are the ones that I'm looking into. Can't decide. All seem the same, but different.

    Single bolt diff brace, cold weather driveline vibrations

    Hi, 1. Thinking of installing a differential brace on my 24 st. It has 1 bolt rear diff (3 bolt technically). Any advice of the brace? Is it really needed? 2. My st has infamous 38mph driveline vibraion when it's cold outside (below 45). If car sits outside overnight - vibration is present. If...

    Thermal R&D 2.5" installed

    Hey, I installed Thermal R&D 2.5" exhaust last week. Love the sound. Morning warm up rumble is perfect for waking my son up at 6am for high school (car is usually backed up facing his bedroom window). Cold warm up (25f here at night) usually lasts about 5-10 minutes. Then it really quiets down...

    '25 ST K&N Filter

    I totally agree with you, however, in the past I have seen people having issues with over oiled filters being mounted directly to turbos causing oily gunk to build up on the compressor...
