Nice! They sound like a shotgun went off under the hood when they blow off. Now don't reply to your thread on Facebook so I don't have to go back there.

I listened to it as my wife drove it away from the house on Saturday night to take the little one to the doctor. Bone stock and it sounds awesome. Don't know why people get a different exhaust for it.

Replaced the turbo. Guess running milkshake for oil might have damaged it. Also picked up a used Forge recirc.

Today I installed the front Koni Yellows and new strut mounts. I have a horrible front end clunk I've been battling. I started with end links, that didn't fix it. Then I did control arms with all new bushings. That didn't fix it. So today I did the Yellows with new strut mounts. That didn't fix it.... The only thing left is sway bar bushings.

Cars from the dealer are in the worst shape

I always make it a point to tell the dealership NOT to wash my cars when they go in for service. I even did it with two brand new v-dub deliveries. They looked puzzled but it was worth it

Umm do you mean end links? Not sure what a side axel is. And that's nuts not having them. Bet your handling improves.

Yes I did. I only turned the adjuster 180* also. They feel pretty good.
