I think the car needs something, not really sure what.
I would start with the drop and see how that changes the appearance of the car. It may make a huge difference.
If not, then you can always get stripes of some kind.

are you guys talking about the drop or the graphic. That graphic is not subtle.

I'd definitely be getting them through Rider Graphix if I go this route.

Installed Centric Posi-Quiet brake pads and painted my calipers. It's sort of hard to tell in the photos but the decals are metallic silver. I didn't know the front calipers were two piston until I got the pads off.

Looks good!
I chatted up my performance guy a long time ago about a bbk and he said RT's honestly dont need it unless you're really putting down a TON of power. Just change to a better pad and slotted/drilled rotor and they are really good.

Sounds good. How long before your wife told you to stop revving your car?

Thanks man. It's a little louder than I was expecting but I'm sure I'll get used to it. The point and shoot camera mic doesn't do it justice really.

Well the Blastin Bob's 7db deletes were short lived. Way too much resonance inside the car and when the 4 cylinder mode kicked in it had a bit too much drone for me. So I ordered his 6db Magnaflow glasspack resonated kit to replace it. It's still pretty loud but the resonance is gone and there's very little drone now. I'm pretty happy with it. Here's a little video I put together of a start up, revs, drive-by and maybe even a power brake thrown in there lol.

Turn it off and keep a log of exactly how much your mpg changes...I'm going to bet it not by much.

Most I know kill the MDS as soon as they get the programmer.
I have the BB GP300 kit on my car. It was dirt cheap as I got it slightly used from someone. It makes a nice low rumble at idle & up to 2800rpm, but then the sound dies after that. Annoying actually as the sound is not consistent through the rpm band. But I get zero noise from it at 65 or 80.

Thanks man! I'd say it's 85 city/15 highway. I don't commute to work anymore now that I work from home, so my only daily driving is taking my son to daycare which is a 2 mile suburban round trip. Otherwise it's the occasional errand or going to meet my wife for her doctor's appointments which is the only time I get on the highway recently. I have taken it to our in-laws twice which is nearly all highway 275 mile round trip so that offsets the not so great city mileage for my overall MPG average.

Honestly the MDS doesn't bother me that much. At least not enough to turn it off just yet. Maybe once I get headers and mids.

That's great mileage for that type of driving. I'm probably 75 city/25 highway and getting 20-21 in my TL. Got 17 in the Ram I had as a rental for three weeks (it had MDS). I figured I'd take a slight hit when I get my new car, but it looks like I'll be about the same...won't argue with that

They say 3rd times a charm. Found an insane deal on a Flowmaster Force II stainless catback on craigslist. The only issue was it's for the new generation Charger, but after tons of research I came to the conclusion the only difference is the exhaust tip sizes. The new Chargers have the built in exhaust tips so these are designed to fit within those. I think it's kind of stealth though since it looks stock instead of the 4" ones that come on the 2nd gen catbacks.
