Is this stock or aftermarket downpipes? In the future I will want to add those on and dont want the exhaust to be good before and then have tons of drone after getting some dp's. Is it liveable with the windows down? I love driving with the windows down and I like like decently loud but also like to enjoy having the windows open. Also are the burbles from a tune, or does it do that stock?
@pointbypatrol13 күн бұрын
This video was on an stock downpipe, and no you won't hear much with the windows down because of wind buffeting. I was on a stock tune for this video as well. I did put on a downpipe later on, and it didn't contribute to any kind of annoying drone, but you'd get more rasp at higher rpms when you were heavy into the throttle.
@DampedCoast13 күн бұрын
@pointbypatrol Thanks for the reply, I just like to figure out as much as I can before I spend that much money lol. Where they catless or with high flow cats? I had a 3rd gen Acura Tl before the Fl5 and I took out 2 of the 3 cats, bigger j pipe, and a magnaflow catback and it sounded amazing but was just too much drone so I did sound dampening throughout the whole car and then still needed to add a small resonator to make it liveable with the windows up and down. Although the car sounded amazing and defined/clear I'd like to avoid doing all that effort again especially on a new car. Not to mention all that work and labor for the exhaust was still cheaper than most Fl5 exhausts lol
@pointbypatrol13 күн бұрын
@@DampedCoast I had the TSP catted downpipe. It will also get a little louder with a tune, but only at high RPM, which means you're in control of how aggressive the exhaust sounds with your right foot. It sounds fantastic wide open! Raspy and aggressive, but the second you start driving normally again it's back to behaving itself. I LOVE this exhaust!
@DampedCoast13 күн бұрын
@pointbypatrol I am most likely going to wait on the dp and tune until my warranty is over since it's my daily, but after that it's go time. Thanks for the quick replies, and sounds like that setup would be a lot of fun and maybe similar to my TL. That thing was ok up to like 3 or 4k and then anything past that up was when he'll broke loose, but it was a lot of fun. That being said that was an auto and this being my first manual I assume it's a lot better with an exhaust setup since you can completely control your gear and rims.

Second thing is a bit more critical of what happened... I didn't want to comment on your crash vid as that was not an appropriate time to do so, you had other crap to deal with.

I'm not an instructor but have attended many HPDE events and have had an instructor in my vehicle with me 95% of the time. My main observation is your hands. PLEASE work on your hand placement on the steering wheel. Your hands are a very major part of your feedback mechanism when it comes to determining your tires level grip on the track surface. If you are constantly shuffling around the wheel, you are not in sync with the wheel, steering column, steering rack, and ultimately the tires grip on the track surface. Always have your hands @ 9 and 3 unless you lose grip and need to counter steer. Use a light grip, no white knuckles, wiggle the fingers on stable straight aways to loosen up a bit, but always keep them at 9 and 3. If that makes you feel a bit confined during hairpin/tight turns, then you can adjust your column up/away to make a little more room for your elbows. Proper seating position is important. I really hope that this comes across as constructive criticism and not flaming as that is not my intent at all. Keep driving! Keep learning! Keep having fun!! That's what it's all about.

Back in black!
It was great to hang out with you this weekend. People with nothing good to say about your experience weren't there when we were all worried about you when it happened. You overcame a lot this weekend and had fun doing it. That's a win!
Thank you!
Wonderful job. Thanks for sharing everything. Two questions-1. What is black car is that you were chasing? I’m currently watching around 20:35 mark. 2. I haven’t followed in the past and this video highlighted it. Do you have any plans to address the suspension bounce during at-limit turns? I own an FL5 and I know that bounce well. : )
That was a BMW M3, and I'm unsure of their modifications. I don't really mind the bounce, as long as you're on throttle you're fine!
Great meeting you last weekend and glad you got back on the horse. Lots of fun at the TSCC events...a good group to run with. I rode with Tony as well and he definitely is a good one to try to emulate!
It was good to meet you too! I'll be out there with you again!
@pointbypatrol also...you can move to a Euro 40 grade if you want even more HTHS (>3.5) so any of the common Euro 5W40s that have VW502/Porsche A40/BMW LL01/MB229.5 approvals.
You've definitely improved as a driver, I'd say. Much smoother inputs, smoother weight transfers, and a much tighter 9 to 3 hands position. Keep it up bro 💪
It only gets harder to be smooth as the speed increases since the cadence of reaction is increased. I fear that more than anything else!
Great car, and a honest man. I’m in, well done with this hobby and explaining things to us waaaaaay out here on the internet!
I'll continue to do my best! I may not always be right, but I sure as hell will try to be!
@@pointbypatrol listen man, you are being honest and explaining things. Not all of us are massive KZreadrs sponsored by “________”. I Love the FL5 CTR and it fits my needs perfectly, but living way out in the middle of nowhere has its drawbacks. It’s good to get true tested info, and I appreciate you for that. P.S I live in middle America, in a town where there are no actual car people, sure there are folks who buy toys, but they never drive them. So keep it up man, it’s nice to see others going through trials and tribulations and overcoming them!
Welcome back brotha. I look forward to more FL5 content
Thanks, man!
