:word: I was figuring any reclining seat will have to be switched passenger/driver.
Yea...not sure if it's that simple for all seats. I think it would be a PITA to have a reclining knob between the seat and tunnel...must at least be a lever.
Most people just attach a caribiner and little strap to access which seems fine.

Sounds like a Porsche option. How much is the caribiner? $550? :dillerman:

Fabric seat pulls are weight saving therefore expensive.

I am actually kinda leaning back to the Corbeau seats, the set is only like $800 new and it's a nice plug and play option. I live in an apartment so fab shop airboating stuff just ain't happening.

Yea, this is a good idea.

Well... I'm still mulling over the seat thing, I reached out to Corbeau to see if they have any locally. This dude's setup is also rather interesting to me:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c5 ... y-frc.html

I am also pretty much 100% on purchasing an exhaust for the Kamry. My thought process is that I think just some noise might really take me over the edge with just liking it and wanting to keep it for a good long while. I'm thinking of the Magnaflow Catback. I also just ordered an oil filter and K&N air filter for it, so it will be maintenance time likely next weekend. I am up to 25.5k on it now and have experienced zero issues in the 10k miles I've had it.

Yeah I’m not certain on it, been going through all of the video nonsense. Anyone heard any exhausts on a BMW four cylinder in person?

Certainly a possibility. Have you heard it? I love the Borla on my ‘vette.

I haven't heard any 4cyl BMW with an exhaust, but I really like the borla on my Corvette too.

I have a local homie hookup with good pricing on both of the aforementioned plus Dinan so I’ll likely go with one of those three options.

Been watching vids and reading reviews, starting to lean towards BROla for the exhaust.
