    looking for some more sound. Catback or DP possibilities

    Still trying to figure out the best way to do this. Watching many differant sound vids and not sure I have come to a conclusion. Seen many that sound rather raspy and not all that good. I am fine looking at muffler deletes or changing mufflers and resonator if need be. Must sound good though...

    APR Carbono intake oil leaking from PCV vent connection

    So I did a 3 hour trip the other day and at the end had several drops of oil on the ground. Looked at the top of the engine and the vent connection and exhaust heat shield had a lot of oil on it. I am aware that there will be oil coming through there normally. Wondering if I should just try to...
