If something is too good to be true, it's not true. Forgestar used to be very well thought of until their wheels started exploding at the track. They were also doing the same thing.

Your not getting a quality forged custom wheel for less than the price of a quality flow form wheel.

Hmm, sounds like you are a purchaser of some made in China/Taiwan flow formed wheels. You have flow formed wheels ?

Would this be the case ?

I bought flow formed winter wheels... but they weren't expensive and I would never say they're anything special.

Don't try to say that it's some kind of jealousy of your incredible Chinesium wheels. Just think you're being a bit gullible is all.

Thank you for saying that my fully forged wheels made with the highest quality pure aluminum are incredible. That was very nice of you.

Got the car back in the garage after cleaning up from Halloween.

The one I bought was off eBay with part number 9460149. Here's one as an example (but out of stock). It literally is just plug and play. No coding or anything like that.

Snagged an AA catback for my nonexistent car... on sale at x-ph I couldn't resist.

Have nearly every mod for the car already that I will do in the first year. I guess saving money on the car versus my budget just gave me permission to mod... dangerous.

Do they make a full catback system or is it just an axleback?
Didn't see it on their website.

Sorry, it is axle back. Not used to there being a distinction.

It's all good man. Just wanted to make sure I didn't see it elsewhere. I've never been a fan of just replacing the axleback but seeing the prices these days for full catbacks I may have to go that route. It's been 9 yrs since I looked at aftermarket exhaust systems.

From the looks of it, theres not much reason to replace the OEM midpipes. There are catbacks but they basically just look like OEM mid sections.

I believe they remove the 2 resonators in the midpipes. Which I think I would prefer to keep to get rid of any rasp. Not sure if the pipe sizing is larger either? Granted, this is my first venture into the non- V8 exhaust systems/sound. So I'm in an uncharted area.

You are correct, sir. All the videos I watched in the past seem to have been European exhaust systems that have the mufflers in the midpipe. Still learning.
