How do you like it so far?

Like it alot. It is quieter than I expected overall. Loud upon startup but after that you have to be on it to hear it. Car sounds similar to stock at light throttle but sounds good under acceleration.

Raced the final autocross of the season with BMW CCA and took first in Modified class

Black interior or not they ALL have black carpet...I got a set of M3 embroidered mats when I got my 2013 in March of 2015 and the actually matched the carpet better then the factory mats which were a little darker.

Had may car for 1 month now. Just got a speeding ticket for going 120 in a 90 zone... 3 lane super highway with very little traffic. My bad, these cars just wanna run.

It's never finished.

Had my final drive in my dream car yesterday, which ended in an accident.

Old man had ran a red as I was turning left and hit my front end. Luckily two witnesses stopped and the rest drove off. One of the witnesses was able to provide me dashcam footage. Click this for video

Here's the one picture I took after.

Damage that I know of so far:

• Front Bumper
• Right headlight
• Right fender
• Right wheel
• Windshield Washerfluid tank

Don't know if the insurance company is going to write it off or not.

Car is sitting in a tow yard(It was drivable, but I didn't want to take the risk), and at this time I'm no longer the owner as I gave it up to the insurance company until they can view and estimate the damage.

It was the other drivers 4th accident in less than 6 months. He was an older fellow, I'd say 60-65 years old. I didn't see the damage on his car but it was a 2015 Subaru Impreza.


EDIT: I wasn't even looking the other direction as I did have the right away, but if I was it probably would have been avoided.

Got mine confirmed for shipment today. Cant wait! The Borla German guy warned me for the volume and suggested the S model. Went for Atak though, reassured by your input mate.... Hope its not too silent though as looking for a tad more than current OEM 2pipe mod.

I hope everything works out. The important thing is you're ok, I assume.

My biggest concern when driving is the other people on the road who for the most part have no business being behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. I see way too many examples of people's lives being ruined by others' negligence.

I took a trip to the hospital and got some x-rays done, they said everything is fine, just gotta take some Advil and other over the counter stuff.

It was hard for me to believe when he said this was his 4th accident in less than 6 months.

I don't have a car to drive anymore, but I can get a rental through his insurance policy. I just gotta call the insurance company and they gotta setup something with the body shop the cars going to.

Where I live everyone goes through one insurance company called ICBC.

I believe you will be happy with it. I ordered it after reading many positive reviews and I agree with all the good things I have read about it. Good fitment, weight, looks and sound. I would not say it is too loud. If anything maybe a little too quiet but then again this is only a cat back. With the windows cracked its an enjoyable sound to shift to with my 6mt. With the windows up it is only slightly louder than stock unless you are at higher rpm. I tend to drive with the drivers window open just a bit to hear it. Also it's one of the cheaper systems for these cars. I can't see myself spending 4-6k for a exhaust system. It's just bent stainless steel. That's a crazy price tag. I came from Japanese cars. Never spent more than 1000 on an exhaust until this car.

nice control over the car, I've never autocrossed before but how do you remember the track lines? I swear I would probably go the wrong direction haha

Cheers mate. Yours has Atak marked on it right? Just so its not mixed with any of their other systems.

You learn to read the cones. You walk the course before the race starts. That’s your chance to learn the layout. If you have never done it I understand how it just looks like a sea of cones

Just a little fun....
New SpartaEvo Brakes 380/355s and painted reflectors.
