Turn Signals Optional: Gberg’s M3

[Gberg2119]

Yup. Midpipe is probably enough for me as rear valved sections for this car are $2k+ themselves.

The stock rear section is staying despite it looking like a diaper.

I'd do the same, if wanting to void my waranty, downpipes, and mid pipes, and keep the stock exhaust, valves and tips.
The V-tax isn't nearly as high as the M-tax but, there are much fewer options.

The way GM does their exhausts though is pretty much perfect. They all sound great from factory.

Does anyone make midpipe options for the blackwing or is it just axle backs?

[Melon2.0]

I believe Tapout tuning makes the mid pipes and downpipe sections. Corsa makes the axle back.

I'm not a big fan of the Corsa sound.

G80 sounds dope with the midpipes reworked like in the video.

Just don't get anti-lag and rev it at Cars & Coffee and we can be friends, lol.

[Gberg2119]

Damn, it really is slim pickings for Blackwing stuff.

I think I'm leaning more towards the 4" milltek now.

[Gberg2119]

Midpipe ordered. At least this should get installed and won’t sit in my garage like the short shifter.

Here’s a shot of the trunk with a full size stroller for those interested. I’ve got an adapter ring on it for the car seat which is why it’s being pushed further to the back of the car. It pops off easily but I had to drop the youngling off this morning in the rain which is why I left it on.

Still plenty of room for soft bags.

I mean I’m sure they were recorded on different mics and in ways so YouTube videos aren’t super reliable as you also noted.

I think they both sound pretty sweet.

There are so many variables it's exhausting.

Downpipes, active sound design, valve controller, shitty microphones, youtube audio, etc.

$1300 for some metal tubing. Good work if you can get it.

Pricing is but I went with the 4" Milltek. It was already on sale and I found another 10% discount code after googling so it was $860 shipped. Half the price of the AA equal length which is on sale right now for $1600. Regular is $2k.

Also digging the stroller pics

I should get pics of riding in the 86. Installing the base in there was a real pain in the dick but that’s a one time thing and now it’s smooth sailing for the next 8ish months.

Looks like an Uppababy stroller.
We have the Cruz and it’s f’ing enormous. Fortunately the midget is big enough to handle the travel stroller so we don’t have to lug that tank everywhere.

Does your base not install into the latch anchors? Mine took all of 30 seconds to install.

It is the Cruz. We'll see how it is once the toddler seat goes on but I don't know how people do the Vista, the Cruz is big enough.

It usually resides in the Rav4 and even in there it takes up a ton of space in the trunk.

With the seat on it the trunk of the CRV is mostly unusable. Oddly enough it fits better in the trunk of the accord.

We use it more at home for walking into town. But it’s so big we don’t have anywhere inside to keep it so we just store it outside on our porch lol. It just chills outside NFG.

[SAWCE]

I think we might have the vista. It is in fact a bear. Takes up more than half the trunk space in the CX-5. We got the travel stroller as well, and that one is even fits in the trunk of the mini.

We've gotta fly in mid april so I'm really looking forward too it. He needs the car seat on the plane and if we're bringing that we might as well bring the full size and check it at the gate. Hopefully the airline doesn't destroy the stoller.

The Minu? We have that as our only stroller. It’s great, so glad we didn’t get the big boi.

Yep, also an UppaBaby, it was just tough because of the tiny back seat, two door, trying to get it level when the seat is very steeply angled, etc. 86 probs haha.

We've got one too and did all this research on which one to get and we can't even use it on the coming trip.

It's a babyzen something that supposedly folds up small enough that it fits in an overhead bin.

Forgot about how steeply angled the back seats are. I still haven't checked to see if I have creases in the seat. I don't want to look.

Midpipe scheduled to arrive the 31st. Hopefully I can get it installed sometime next week after a daycare drop off.

Yep! It’s great. The full-sizer is really unnecessary

It’s def not optimal for gravel or other rougher surfaces but otherwise great. My sister has a Bob running stroller that’s supposedly shitty but I’ve been meaning to go grab that for another option but I’m sure it’s too big to travel with. The Minu folds up pretty dang small.

I put a seat cover under the base in both vehicles so hopefully no damage gets done.

My sister-in-law has the Ridge from Uppababy that she uses up in the Poconos. It's got some on it and disc brakes.

Yeah we have a knock off Minu and it was our daily driver in the city.

Can’t use it because you’re bringing the car seat? The yoyo is awesome. We borrowed one once and it was so nice.
We have a trip coming up in a few months and plan to have baby just sit on our laps for that free ticket. Probably going to be a disaster since it’s a 5 hr flight.
