What part of CT do you live in? And did you get affected by the tornados?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im in Milford, about halfway between Bridgeport and New Haven.

Oddly enough, we got very little of anything during that mess....wind and rain for about 20 minutes, but nothing more than that (didnt even have lightning or thunder).

Maybe 10 miles from here was a wreck, 20 miles from here there was a confirmed tornado.

Where are you and did you get hit?

Too awesome! Please post about how that Borla exhaust sounds! I’m trying to find an exhaust that won’t just **** everybody off when I start it but makes me smile when I get on it down the freeway.

I’m in Wallingford so only about 25 minutes from you. My neighborhood got smashed! I had a ton of huge branches down, whole house covered in debris but thankfully my house and fence were undamaged.

Worst storm I’ve personally ever witnessed before.

I have had loud exhausts before and I personally just end up inevitably hating them. They sound awesome but when you are coming home late at night, have a headache or just want peace and quiet they can be really annoying.

I got the Borla touring edition which from what Borla told me it is supposed to be very tame and made to produce a little growl and sound good when you get on it, but quiet at cruising speeds with no drone.

I’ll let you know next week how it sounds because you’re definitely in the same boat as me.

Looks fantastic, just one thing if you don't mind - just my opinion. The front fender flares. They don't flown well with the bumper .

Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Ayeee I looked into so many flares ended up going with the 2500/3500 flares. The sport bumpers are hard to find anything OEM that matches as they don’t make any flares specific to the sport bumper. I searched far and wide and ended up sticking with the OEM fitment. I like how they look personally but all preference.

1. Already been looking at 35’s I have spacers already... so uh probably sooner than I wanted!

2. Those are actually the morimoto LED fog light housings they come black and the output is good. I did it more for appearance than for functionality to be honest I think the stock housings are better at being fog lights lol
