Neither do I (they're CVI's stickers). I have lost a little bit but I've been running the same oil with a leaking oil cap (and a few other small leaks for over 10,000km so I guess that's expected).

Now for today's pictures...

- close to $2000 in front end work along with regular maintenance after my trip to get the van sitting level again, unfortunately there's now a knocking that occurs when I turn left.
- New pyro installed as the old one broke (now wired properly as well)
- straight piped exhaust, quite the whistle and it is quite loud but it doesn't bother me and you can barely hear it with the windows up
- ball hitch, brake controller and trailer wiring installed


Today:
- attached a SS tip purchased in the states only because they're so cheap
- re-attached the housing for the pyro

I was worried about it too but for some reason the sound doesn't seem to work it's way through walls. I deafen people on the streets, but gun it in front of my neighbour houses at 3am (like in the video) and no one hears a thing (I've asked around). Before, when I had the glass pack in, I would wake up one of my neighbours constantly. Maybe it has to do with pitch!?

Sounds just like mine lol. Straight piped out the back. Only thing I notice is sleeping in it in the winter (running) its louder. Almost a bit too much. Wanna hear loud? Undo the bottom of the air filter can and drive it around the block...
