I open the hood as well after I pull into the garage. I actually do this very often. I’m in Texas so it’s super hot. I leave the hood open for up to an hour to let everything cool off. I then go back out, shut the hood and then close the garage door. Probably excessive, but it makes me feel...

The smell lingers only for a few minutes. Even after closing the garage I don’t really notice the smell. I popped the hood as soon as I pulled into the drive and I could smell it. Definitely not engine oil. When you say burning paint I assume you mean the paint on the motor?

Just checked the oil and it is full. The level is right at where it was when I drove it off the lot. That’s a good idea on the plastic bag. I’ll get them to check that out when I get the oil changed.

Thanks for the reply. I have popped the hood numerous times and have found nothing. Oil cap and dip stick nice and tight. I plan to do the first oil change this next week so it wouldn’t be anything related to that. It doesn’t smell like motor oil to me though. I would almost think it’s...

Hey everybody, I did a search but didn’t come up with anything. My 24 sport with only 1300 miles has an odd smell when doing a little mild spirited driving. Finally past the break-in so I’ve been giving it a little bit of gas but honestly, I really baby this car. It’s like a burning smell. I...

Well, I guess I thought they would be lighter because I asked someone on marketplace that was selling a set and they said 25 pounds so I had that stuck in my head. Not sure who makes them, but I will take a look at one and get back.

I had some new wheels put on today and after I got home, I personally weighed the wheels. They are quite a bit heavier than I expected them to be.

I confirmed the weight of the sport wheels today. They are a hefty 29lbs!!

Thank you. Where did you find this info?

I checked it out. It does give some specs, but not the weight.

Has anybody out there weighed the sport wheels? I’ve done a pretty extensive search and all I’m finding is a lot of guesstimates.

Hey, thanks a bunch for the info. I really don’t like the idea of introducing any drone but it’s an inexpensive and reversible mod to give a try. If I don’t like it, I’ll just swap it back.

I do appreciate it. I’m just hoping there is somebody here that has the resonated mid pipe and a muffler delete like this.

I would imagine that might be quieter than what I have now. I think it’s a good option for someone with a non-resonated mid pipe but I have the resonators.

Hey, thanks for the link. I read through the thread pretty good. I think going the m/t pipe route probably won’t work for me. Especially having the a/t. There were several mentions of some drone. I can’t find anybody there that has the resonated mid pipe with an actual muffler delete in the rear.

Are you noticing any drone or resonance inside the cabin? I’m afraid of doing away with the resonators in the mid pipe because they usually do a good job of stopping drone.

Yes, the a/t axle back can be found on Facebook marketplace or eBay very often. The M/T Muffler is massive and really quiets things down a lot.

Well, even though I really like that set of wheels, I think I’m going to pass. I really don’t want to run spacers. I found another set and the offsets are very close to factory. However, they are 18 x 9 1/2 square and I would like to run my factory 245/45 tires. I’ve looked online and a lot...

Well, since switching out the mid pipe is such an easy and cheap option, I may just give it a try.
