[@1999hondacivicdx]

The F80 cold-start sounds like someone threw a bag of nails into a blender and set it to puree.

[@AnalBeard]

agreed, I have an F80 with the m-performance exhaust (which is even louder than Vin's stock exhaust) and the cold start makes me cringe. seriously considering having it mapped out.

@@hi_tech_reptiles The 1G-FE, the 2.0 6 Cylinder engine from the IS200.. If you live in the UK or Ireland, and you've been to any drift day since 2015, you'll know how much of a plague these engines have been. Especially because everyone seems to straight pipe them and they are so raspy and tinny. However, strap a turbo to one of them and they do have the ability to sound good, but most people don't go to that extent, so they mostly just sound like utter shite.

[@jaimehurtado356]

I agree with vin, F80 is the best daily I have owned. It's the perfect "1 car does it all" for me. 600whp, 4 doors for my sons car seats, comfortable/sporty interior, modern features, Apple car play, adaptive suspension, looks amazing. Doesn't sound great but I went with the single midpipe myself and resonated downpipes. Almost no rasp.

keep the coathanger hood pin. with the janky junk exhaust, you can call the car "Back alley" to go along with the hood pin. and man, that exhaust build was the equivalent of watch some dude in a straight jacket bash their heads into a wall to make the voices stop. i love it.

Best video I have seen in a long time! Watching VIN work on the F80 thinking wow he is such a classy scumbag and I respect it. Always has gorgeous cars and takes time to do everything right. Then watching him work on the E36 do nothing the right way made me laugh nonstop! The comment about just welding the exhaust to the body was too good! Keep up the great work Vin!

[@johnanderson2711]

Make sure you do the crank hub if it isn't done!

[@AnalBeard]

this is a myth which will never die. the crank hub is fine if you aren't running a huge tune and booting it outside of the power band - drive it in the power band and you're fine (aka drive properly)

The BMW builder in me wanted to complain about you bitching about the sound of the e36 then I remembered how bad my m50b30 sounded with a cut exhaust. I ended up having to install a thrush hush thrush muffler. When I get further into my turbo e83 x3 build I'll be definitely doing something on par with the Thrush in a stainless package. I like quiet cars that have no business being as built as they are.

[@OilMax]

Does the Macaroni Mid pipe reduce exhaust flow / efficiency if the exhaust gases have to change direction that many times? Or is it negligible?

[@vin_tra]

if anything it makes more power

[@Innovaspeed]

I was wondering the same. Much sharper bends and the full length wiggle has to have some impact.

[@-tr0n]

It's probably free flowing enough that there's not a measurable difference. 1HP kinda thing. Honestly, you've got cats and turbos in front of it, they're so much more of a restriction that it won't matter. You might even notice a HP gain simply due to being more equal length and matching exhaust pulses...but again turbo and cats make that negligable.

[@dj_spaulding]

massive improvement on both of them👍

[@georgejelfs1347]

Get the cold start feature mapped out. It's only there to heat the cats up faster. Just an emissions feature that's all
