Thats y I'm asking, cause if its auto you're making us other auto guys look silly by making your car drive like a manual.

Not to mention thats a good way to kill your tranny prematurely.

Yeah, I found that if i let off the gas and hit it back again at a perfect time the shifts are alot more powerful.

On the in car video, I did leave it in "L" and "2" to leave it in a low gear to let people know what it sounds like inside the car.

But, no, in the other videos it was working as a regular auto, I've just learned the way it works and how to manipulate it

Sorry man, u seem like a smart kid but thats a big negative. I've killed many an auto tranny by dicking around with it like you are in that vid.

Just don't be surprised when the first major repair on your car is transmission related.

And when did I mash on the gas and went nowhere?

Also, on the portion where I pulled back into the lot, I did use the "L" gear to downshift, I figured most people that will be getting this system will have manuals so I tried to hit all bases with the sounds this system creates, Auto or Manual

not only is redbasebolt right on how it WILL ruin your tranny prematurely, you just look like an idiot downshifting an auto, isnt that the point of an AUTOMATIC

Well excuse me for going out of my way to make a good video on what the Pacesetter exhaust sounds like, maybe I'll take it down so the people will be in the dark in the future as to what its like.

Im sorry bro. I did not even comment on the point of this video (the sound of the exhaust).

What do you expect at a price that cheap, isnt it a non stainless system?

don't get me wrong about our tranny's, the 4T45e tranny is pretty damn strong right from the factory. With repeated abuse like that, and letting off inbetween shifts to get that "bang" feeling into the next gear, it's gonna malfunction sooner than later.

That bang effect going from gear to gear is the sound of the tranny begging to soften it's shift since u let off the gas and then tighten right back up again as fast as it can to compensate for the fact that you just slammed the gas down again.

Essencially it's smacking metal into metal, which over time, wears out and things begin to brake.

Sounds completely different than mine. I should make an updated vid for mine since mine has broken in now.


Nice video. Your car looks awesome with the drop.

I dont have a problem with it, I love it actually, I think its pretty smooth sounding, and having an oval muffler with a regular non-oversized tip looks good.

People asked me specifically to do different things with it on video, so I tried to cover all the aspects of sounds with it, including downshifting and driving in a low gear.

And as i stated I dont drive around by shifting it with the "L" and "2"
I have found if you let off the gas, the car will shift into the next gear, by pressing back down onto the gas mid-shift it results in a much cleaner solid shift.

And FYI I plan on having the tranny re-built for a much higher hp tolerance similar to Halfcent's build

Thanks, finally someone who appreciates the several hours it took me to compile this video.

I plan on making more videos tomorrow, just driving around, doing some random stuff.

Props back to you dude, your car is one of the most Photogenic I know of

Yeah sorry I totally forgot to comment on the sound. It's nice and deep, and the drop does look really good.
