you'll still hear it...my buddy had a pretty loud exhaust, and we still heard it. I can hear a little road noise from my tires and I have a loud ass exhaust.

 

i dont hear it at all in my VW. I have my stock muffler on but i removed the resonator behind it. IT has a nice low deep tone to it which drowns the road noise.
In my accord i slightly hear it and i dont have a muffler

 

i have the ziex 512's on my rear wheels.

 

how are they?

 

I just bought Ziex's from Edgeracing.com a few months ago. I am very pleased with them. Edge Racing is amazing, I ordered on a late Thursday night and got them Monday morning. As far as road noise, I think they are one of the most quiet ones I've tried. I am very satisfied with them for daily driving. However, I have heard from Rick that their long-term life isn't all too great.

 

actually their long-term life is great... they will never wear out :chuckles:

and back to work!

 

Why would you not want traction? That doesn't make sense to me? You can still have low pros or whatever with traction. Do you plan on drifting or something? What are you going to do when it rains?

 

my first gear in the new gearset is alot longer than the factory one so right now, even if i launch with the launch control set at 5700rpm (boost holds at 10psi), i still spin a touch then bog. before, without the launch control, i could launch at that same rpm and roast the tires. all bogging is doing to me is stressing the transmission, i need some spinnage.

 

unless i'm in high boost, they wont break loose.

 

what do you consider high?
