Mat - "just compare the new and the old one side by side" Proceeds to have one photo above another 🤣

[@rehaankhan1260]

This might blow your mind. So Matt asked how much difference could the extra 2 mph from 60 to 62 possibly make. Since kinetic energy is proportional to velocity *squared*, the last 2 mph here require the same amount of energy as the first ~15.6 mph! And that's under ideal conditions without friction and air resistance, which both increase at higher speeds, so this value could be much higher. I don't think enough people know this. I don't usually ask for likes, but please like this so Matt can see it. For anyone interested in the math: √(62²-60²) = 15.62

[@rehaankhan1260]

@UCB7pPupvQDbZpxgkYW14W4Q Thing is the 1/2 cancels out. If we arbitrarily call the speeds v1, v2 and v3, the equation we get is (1/2)(m)(v3)² = (1/2)(m)(v2)² - (1/2)(m)(v1)². (1/2)(m) cancels out from both sides, so essentially that whole thing is the constant of proportionality, not just m.

It would make sense that the PPF would make it slower, I don’t believe it would be as free flowing as the exhaust pre facelift plus the small amount of added weight because of it combined might make that 0.1 second difference however different variables such as amounts of fuel may be the reason as it’s such a small amount of time.

How to fix some of the annoying problems. The seatbelt rattle is easy, attach some colour coded felt (noise gone) and no one will really notice unless purposely inspecting that area. In order to get the top speed and more performance, pay £400 for a remap and rolling road. You saved almost £1,500 Pay £800-£1000 for a decent after market exhaust and have the PPF removed and get it MOT'd by someone that will pass it.

Been stationed here for 1.5 years. German roads are shit in so many areas.
