Holy welcome back from the dead.

Gotta head down to the CBSA office on Main. Found out about this thread after I installed my exhaust.

:okay:

Maybe I'll just park at my office down by Olympic Village and walk over.

You're pretty much beside the police station......yolo and drive all the way.

Honestly doesn't mean anything.
I used to drive by that station twice a day on a regular basis for work and back.

It's just the same few officers within the entire force taking pot-shots. Most officers wouldn't even bat an eye about your mods. Most of them have better things to do.

I drive by weekly with my M3 on sport mode. With or without my new exhaust.

I was at Lambo Van few weeks ago and the Barnee the purple SV with an aftermarket exhaust was revving outside. VPD cruiser pulled up beside the owner, didn't care he was revving, had a friendly chat and drove off.

Majority of VPD cops don't care.

westopher 06-03-2022 01:49 PM

That guy is fucking unbearable. Always driving around my neighborhood with his car sounding like diarrhea shooting out of a shitty asshole through a megaphone.

68style 06-03-2022 03:07 PM

^ my mind envisioned that, thank you :badpokerface:

Now let's try that with a Civic SI on gold Rotas.

Every summer, hear him coming up and down my st and the neighbouring street. He’s not speeding or anything on our street but it’s so goddamn annoying. Then you hear him diarrheaing up the upper levels hwy, it just fucking echoes

westopher 06-04-2022 05:33 AM

It’s the way he drives to do it too. Full throttle, off throttle, full throttle, off throttle all so the fart explosions come out with maximum pressure.

F all snap crackle pop tunes/new lambo sounds/new car sounds with all their popping. Stupid. Guy with M4 in my neighborhood has his car popping and burbling at speeds of 30km/h. Ridiculous that car manufacturers think thats cool.

westopher 06-07-2022 12:42 PM

They make the cars for the morons that buy them, so it’s working.
I can just picture the BMW engineers “make it sound like ze kaka so ze stupid amaricans and Canadians buy dis shizer.”

My guy, that is clearly a French accent.

We had a new model launch event and a mclaren engineer was attending.

A customer of ours (younger…. Of course) was complaining that the McLarens don’t do it at all regardless. (Stock)

Customer: hey man. Why can’t you guys make the pop pop pop.

McLaren engineer: we don’t do that here. If it doesn’t make it faster or improve the car itself, we don’t bother. Save the crackling for Lambos.

Me: oooooof. :lawl:

68style 06-09-2022 09:53 PM

Imagine the difficulties that young man encounters on a daily basis that he has to complain about his supercar’s perceived shortcomings :tears:

hud 91gt 06-10-2022 06:04 AM

^Ever since I changed the exhaust on my Z (7years ago?) the car would fart and pop. Then I fuel injected it and it got worse. First I thought it was really cool, and it was because my 140hp car was a true performer. Lol. Eventually changed the full exhaust again (manifold to muffler) and added a turbo charger. The popping increased (despite tuning to keep it down). Now rocking 230hp, this thing could take down a McLaren with the noises it makes.

Made my exhaust manifold last winter and installed it. Noises gone. Apparently it was an exhaust leak :p So much nicer to drive.

Sounds like this could also apply to this whole VI ordeal..
