I’m a pretty big fan of this straight-6 thing. I just wish it had a manual. The auto is fucking terrible.

It’s disappointingly quiet. Except at 3k RPM. Then it drones like it’s its job. Guess what it cruises at on the highway? Yeah. 3k.
Over 4.5k it just SINGS though. I need to stick the gopro to the rear bumper and get some pulls and stuff.

Is there still a resonator in the system, or was it just a cat and a muffler?
Mine drones badly on the highway too, the glasspack doesn’t do a ton to help with that. When I insure it again in the spring I’ll have to get a resonator involved so the highway is tolerable

T here used to be a Sportcross here that was used for delivering pizzas. It was poorly modded, one of those mods being the worst exhaust I have ever heard on a 2J...it sounded like it was only on 4 cylinders or something. I don’t know how he messed up the sound of a 2J that badly.b Yours is much more how it should sound.

I know you’ve got trouble with heavy clu tches but still hate the slusher in your IS300, so have you dove into the deep dark world of manual valve bodies yet?
Also, fuck the loud car life. I'm so over it. I need to get a real exhaust for my Golf then throw a butterfly in so I cak switch from muffled to straight piped when I want to.

Haven’t looked into manual valve bodies. I’ll be saving up next summer for a real manual swap. Knee brace appears to solve 99% of my issues with a clutch so... fuckin regret selling the Fox Body now. Looks like it’ll be around $2k to swap. Worth it, honestly.

Yeah I’ve heard a couple ricey 2Js and I really don’t understand. These are not naturally raspy engines.

Mine still has the resonator and 3 cats. I’ll likely be replacing the header with the two built-in cats with a header (rust) and putting a larger cat in the midpipe to compensate cuz nobody like a smelly car.

I googled around a bit and didn’t see any off the shelf manual valve bodies for the A650E transmission, but they have been done. I can't imagine them being more expensive than a manual transmission swap, though. I think they're neat and don't really see why more people don't do them.
