I've got a few friends that have the MBRP cat back and it's probably one of the better sounding exhausts for these cars.

 

How's the drone on the MBRP? This is my dad-mobile, so it's got to be next to none. From what I've read and seen the 2 I mentioned don't drone much if at all, but I'm always open to suggestions.

I get what you mean, not the best sounding engine ever. All things considered though, I don't the Ford Racing exhaust sounds terrible, same for the Injen exhaust surprisingly.

I'd guess you need to get rid of that stock pea-shooter turbo to make any real power. But then you get the lag...

 

The GTX's can make decent power (Mid 300s? Correct me if I'm wrong) without TOO much lag. I just put an intake on mine the other day. I know it's effectively a $250 sound tube, but it makes me smile to and from work. Also took off the sound symposer...do this if you haven't! I really want an exhaust now, too!

 

Very nice torque number, though! The torque steer on the dyno was

That's pretty awesome. Good work!

If you don't like a curved screen check out the LG G6! Mine's been great so far. I was planning on switching to the S8 (I have a thing on T-Mobile where I can switch 3 times a year with no down payment or payoff), but I haven't had a reason to.

Similar target audience I suppose, but SRT4s were $20k and the RS is $40k. Maybe they're banking on the guys who bought an SRT4 new to have a better paying job 13 years later and still have the same maturity level?

 

ST's can be had for $20k. The stock turbos are pretty nearly maxed out from the factory. It's funny looking through the forums and seeing people be all "can I make 350whp with bolt-ons and a turn??" No. You can't. It's a decent daily, that's about it. I feel it's probably similar for the RS as well.

That's probably an indication of the aggressiveness of the previous owner's driving habits

 

Could be. My ST usually says 260 to empty. That's with a slightly smaller tank and slightly higher rated MPG, but also driving MAYBE 5 miles to work on a military base...I need a bike and to not be lazy.

If this is the shit that's going commercial now, what do they have that we don't know about?

Also, have either of you tried Good Lock on your Samsungs? It really puts it a lot closer to stock, it's pretty neat. Check it out in the Galaxy Apps store. I've tried quite a few different phones over the past year thanks to T-Mobile's Jump on Demand program. LG G4, Galaxy S6, Note 5, Galaxy S7, Note 7, HTC 10, iPhone 7, (I bought ANOTHER Galaxy S7 cause it was on sale, but then I decided to try the G6 so I'm trying to sell it to a friend) and finally the G6. I also bought a Nexus 5X outright just to have to mess around with stock Android.

Is it raw Android or does it have some shitty UI overlay? I'm very much looking forward to not having TouchWiz anymore, and the main reason I like the Pixel is for raw Android.

 

It isn't "pure" Android, but the skin is very light. Almost all of the apps are stock Google, the only things I can think of that aren't are the Contacts and Dialer apps. I'm sure you can side-load the Google versions though. It's also theme-able so you can make it pretty close to stock in that regard as well. The dual camera is very cool (wide-angle FTW). If you've ever held a Nexus 5X, it feels like a very premium version of that (obviously with a MUCH bigger screen) with wireless charging and water resistance. I don't know what carrier you have, but the T-Mobile version has an unlockable bootloader, so I'm sure stock ROMs will be coming.

iPhone 8/X/Edition/Pro/whatever they call it looks to be a strong contender. Especially since I'm leaving Samsung b/c I hate the bezels of their curved glass phones. It's gonna be either that or Pixel 2.

 

LG G6 is :thumbup::thumbup:

Yeah i saw the one on Morse road can do repairs. I'm just worried they're going to charge half the price of the phone.

 

Probably will. I looked up the price to replace the screen on my old Note 5 when it broke, it was something like $400 because the screen and digitizer are one piece. At that point you're better off buying a new one. The S7 can be had for around that price nowadays. I got mine for $360 on sale at T-Mobile a few weeks ago. There are also plenty of really good mid-range phones out now too. You no longer have to get the very best Android phones to get a good experience.

Shiiiiit I'm too drunk to post emoji

hey couldn't handle trying to uphold the Gibson name on the football team. I can see why...i was a beast..

 

Pretty sure I had a picture of you at a spring game on one of my old phones

Good to know.

 

Same goes for phone calls and such. If I'm doing something around the house and watching YouTube on my iPad and leave my phone somewhere, a call will come through on the iPad. Apple's "continuity" is a really fantastic feature for the iPhone.

Curious, have you or any of the other galaxy note zealots on here ever owned a nexus device?

 

Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, and Nexus 5x. With Nexus there's always a compromise. Battery life, camera, processor, something.

 

The Note 7 on Marshmallow already had most of Nougat's features, and none of the compromises of the Nexus line. Because of that I was willing to give up the instant software updates. But Google's overall inconsistency is what led me to get an iPhone when I had to give up the Note 7.

If you're 100% against an iPhone, just wait for the next Note. The Note 7 really was THAT good. I hated having to turn mine in. It was just head and shoulders above anything else. I did end up switching to iPhone, but if they hadn't recalled it I would still have the Note 7.

Would be using Google Play Music, but because of the Note 7 fiasco we activated it on too many devices and have already deleted 4 for the year so I can't use it on my new phone...

My team is 1/4 Buckeyes and I took Zeke #4...and I'm the only one undefeated in my league. Buckeyes FTW.

Sparty 'gon Sparty.

So good i had to watch it a second time. What was she thinking, honestly?

 

I don't understand why people are asking this. I've seen this same sentiment on Facebook. It shows she can roll with the punches and take a joke. You seriously think this wasn't calculated? That her manager didn't have full control over what was included in this video?

Oklahoma and this Big 12 officiating crew can fuck right off. Go Bucks.

Those are vegas odds designed for the house lol.

 

I think they do throttle them. Not in. Points but in how they limit the Buckeyes. Let's just do a straight win/loss bet.

 

You're such a fucking chode.

My head hurts today. Rain delay halftime+day drinking=even more time to drink after a 6 point offensive first half...second half was happy drinking, though.
