    Definitely less gravel and mud kicking up. Debbie washed out everyone's gravel driveways onto the asphalt so they definitely got the test this week! 'Flaps used to be a requirement here in PA, but not anymore. Inspector never said anything, they were more worried about the slightly tinted windows on the VW even though the same place sold us the car :facepalm:

    Yea I had a bunch of issues with used cars over the years.
    They would put a sticker on a car and I would fail it.
    Ream me a new asshole and I would tell them it’s my license and the law. Told them to get the same guy to but it on from the last time.
    Some sketchy stuff happened.

    Hmm, not sure. I'm pretty sure @Plain Jane Taco is working on one for his 3rd gen :popcorn:

    There's so many gray area's in the PA inspection book. In my county we don't do emissions, so it's easy to get a guy to slap a sticker on it without looking at it. On my nice vehicles I get a legit inspection though...

    I wonder if he will try to sneak bed exhaust stacks through?

    Dude, that 3.5 V6 sounds odd with the factory exhaust, can't imagine how bad it would sound with one of those... :puke:

    I use to hate doing stickers on older customers. They drive like 1500 miles a year.
    Older cars so you know the shitheads would go through them with a mag glass.

    Meanwhile when I brought in my 4th gen it had 1,009 miles on it. The old guy took over an hour to inspect it, going over everything. Like my dude, it's brand new. However, ol' Larry is a good mechanic and is very thorough with everything so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. He did let an oil leak slide on the VW so there's that. I had just changed the oil and to fix the leak the filter housing has to come off and I wasn't about to spend $60 on another oil change kit for that thing.

    That's not a real poptart. It has no icing.

    I actually think the stock exhaust sounds decent at mid rpm. But not with aftermarket systems. 60° V's are even fire engines with exhaust pulses close together. Hard to make them burble.

    Already ordered. Plugs right in to my hitch.
    When the algorithm begins to twitch I'll just say "safety first" biotch.
