Re: Finally bought one of my dream cars...
I installed the ETS quiet catback exhaust this week! Car sounds amazing and my morning commute just got 10x more enjoyable.
Install was smooth and I put it up on ramps this morning and everything looked good with no leaks. I'll post some pics this weekend - they're not joking when they say this exhaust has perfectly centered tips.

i was about to say, "i bet your neighbors love you", but then i saw it was the ETS quiet. wife's FXT s**t the bed - low compression in #2 & #4 cylinder ... at 71k miles of being properly maintained and her gentle driving. test drove a '15 Forester and XV, was very "meh" - interior seems cheaper than her '05. plus i'm not very happy with Subaru right now. after much looking and test driving we got .... a 2015 Outlander Sport 2.4L AWD GT. if you would have told me 5 years ago i'd own 2 Mitsubishi's, i'd laugh in your face! its the best kept secret in small SUV's. Super-wide HID's, FWD/AWD auto/4x4 lock modes, CVT w/paddle shifters, keyless entry and push button start, voice commands, 710w Rockford Fosgate system, panoramic LED moonroof, 18" wheels, rain sensing wipers, 5yr/50k bumper-to-bumper and 10yr/100k powertrain warranty. for $24k - Forester doesn't come near that. preferred the exterior and interior styling better, too. the AWD modes were interesting - don't need it 90% of the year, just wastes gas. she wanted something smaller like her '05 Forester (we have no kids or herd of large dogs, and i'm not a contractor or farmer), and the Forester grown larger over the years. probably not for everyone who wants bigger capacity, or doesn't live anywhere near a Mitsu dealer, but it works good for her. not the actual car, but Mercury gray like this: i sprayed the ACD pump i had installed with a galvanized zinc anti-corrosive coating, and made my own custom pump cover out of a $5 rubber floor mat - should be good to go for quite some time. got refunded by Mitsu for part and labor under warranty. other than that, nothing to report other than its still a blast to drive after almost 4 years.
