hey guys,

here is my problem, i have an appointment at illgarage to install my midpipe, exhaust and rear sway this saturday. should i just go ahead and get it done or should i wait for a couple weeks in the hope of better weather? not sure if i want to get this nice new shiny exhaust covered in salt right from the start.

opinions?

thanks,

bryan

 

Looking at the weather forecast, it's going to start to warm up and for now....no precipitation. If you do get salt on it, just bring it to a car wash and have the underside of it washed off. I doubt it would have to be any more than 1 or 2 times. But I think the snow is over. (personally, or maybe I wish) I'm getting wheels for my car on Friday. So let's all bring that Spring in!

 

Is your car your DD?

I say install ASAP! You can always clean it up later. Plus, its not like, just because you're driving in nice weather, you won't get crap on your exhaust... think road tar!

Just don't throw baller wheels on til all the snow is gone and its rained a lot so all the salt is leeched out of the roads.

 

I would personally install it, it's a exhaust, it's going to get dirty anyway... Enjoy it as much as you can

And Jason, I'm gonna need another detail this spring, this winter has wreaked havoc on my car once again

 

^ Haha ok. I haven't washed my car once this whole winter! Minimize those swirls

 

yeah it's my dd. great opinions guys! keeping my appointment cause i can't wait to hear the megan mid with the tanabe!!!!!

 

just install it. I am driving with ~3" or road clearance with everything on my car with the exception of my summer rims/tires. I have no issues. Just make sure to use the quarter wash to rinse off any salt so its not sitting on your car. I hardly drive my car but I still take it weekly to rinse her down

 

^ Your car is spoiled.

 

haha...funny thing is my car is pretty much always clean in my work parking lot and everyone is always asking how/why my car is always clean nothing like a cold day washing your car

 

quarter wash is key! i'm there almost three times a week cause i put on around 20K plus miles per year!

 

Mike, you amaze me that you drive that car as your dd. 3" road clearance.LOL

Do you take your car to a do-it-yourself or a regular car wash? I found with this Matador Red, first time with the rubber bristols, it put fine lines in the paint. So now I have it arranged at Woodfield Lexus to go and get it washed anytime I want. Not that THEY do a great job, but the follow up is easier. Just bring that wax and shine or whatever and wipe off the lines of salt that runs down. I hate that. I want spring!
