• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Thinking of getting Leo Vince Exhaust... any suggestions?

    lv lv is the way to go if you don't want carbin fiber. otherwise go with MBRP. the exhaust is well made, but like the other exhaust co their quiet baffles don't work as well as lv's. i did some experiments. and found a baffle that works. the exhaust will blow you away on the highway.as the 5th...
