The difference is that pretty much all the people that rag on me can at least remember how I used to post here. Mostly they just bag on me to get under my skin. You've always been, well, you. But I concur, I really don't care what regard I'm held in here. As Rob would say, this is internet.
Stating my opinions that my exhaust sounds fine as it is? Or that I would prefer to leave my daily driver stock? Or was it that when I am totally debt free I could see picking up another project car with plans to modify it? Since no sane person here would say my personal lifestyle preferences with regards to modifying my exhaust is ignorant it must be that I feel modifying a vehicle simple to make more noise is a tweenybopper thing to do. Or it is that my definition of tweenybopper is different than what I suppose they have it mean now? I disagree with the current definition. Tweenyboppers rewrote it.
Sorry that I don't infer an entire exhaust system from "set of flowmasters". To me that sounds like a pair of mufflers. Personally, I wouldn't even consider exhaust modifications to my car unless they included long tube headers, high flow cats, an x pipe, and nice flowing but subtle sounding mufflers. Of course, to take advantage of the increased flow you need to then turn your attention to the intake side and then to the camshaft. Then it's off to reprogram the computer. All of these modifications will produce more power and probably better fuel economy but, to me, it is not worth the down time and reliability concerns because I drive the car everyday.
Putting a "set of flowmasters" (mufflers, cat back, whatever) pretty much only accomplishes changing the sound of the car. I would take a systematic approach to improve the performance and anything less is half-assed.
Clearly.
