With all of California's laws that you just mentioned with active exhausts it makes you wonder how the hell do they have all these supercars and hypercars legally
I put an active exhaust on all 5 of my cars. I use the quiet mode at home and around cops, or if I got the stereo cranked up. It's a great invention. I'm 59yrs old and I love new technology.
I'd love to remind that in the near future the cars with actuve exhaust will be tested in all the modes, and all will need to be compliant with noise regulations.
Its not a generation issue. Non-cars people, are the same. They only differ in reaction, some are blind to the mod dont recognize it as a mod, some are aloof, they see it but dont/can not respond to it, not interested, some are reactionary ---> either dont get it, dont like it. Many carguys are born from noncar parents, dont worry, we still love you. :)
4:40, when talking about wrap thickness, that would be 5 mils (0.005 inches), not 5 millimeters (0.197 inches)!! 9 millimeters is almost half an inch lmao
Honestly I'm happy air suspension exists because its very convenient. You can make your car low but then you can move when needed without scraping the bottom of your car like a hot wheels on concrete.
Mr. Bladed Angel, I want to ask something How is air suspension reliability compared to 'traditional' spring suspension and coilover? Is it better (need less maintenance) or does it need more care?
Air suspension on German cars are a known failure. A spring coilover setup is generally more durable and reliable. Besides airbags are just stupid, adds no value to the car and adds another layer of complexity to the car.
Not as reliable as coil-overs and whatnot, generally speaking. But despite the popular misconceptions… they’re not prone to failure if installed correctly. Failure can of course happen, but we all also know “that guy” who had a shoddy coil over job that failed catastrophically. Whether or not it’s something that’s for you, is down to what you want it for. Pros and cons to both an air system and a coil over.
I’m on a Mercedes-Benz forum and every time they see a picture get posted with the car with a widebody kit or air suspension they always say “it’s ruined!”
@@BladedAngel I see more cars fixed at that height than I do ones that are actually on air ride. At my old work, one of my coworkers had a newer 3 series, and he would always grind away his splitter in the parking garage. The entire team collectively winced every single time he left work
1: I've heard of it and heard mixed things about it. A better suspension is live suspension. The system is always active and makes racing that much more improved. Bose built their own and due to weight was scrapped in place of the vehicles suspension and instead applied to Semi Truck seats. 2: I've heard of this but it's not needed on the road. On tracks and car meets or car shows or parades it's fine. 3: I've heard of this and an alternate cover is ceramic coating. I saw your last video on this and you convinced me to agree to it. I really should invest in getting a wrap. 4: This is useful but more of a vanity than an actual purpose, but it's been used for so long that not a lot of people may care. You can always tell genuine from fake if you look close enough. 5: I ain't gonna say "no" to protecting your car or yourself. You'd be surprised how strong and durable carbon fiber is but anything that can absorb the potential damage is a thumbs up from me.
I actually built my own custom active exhaust. I built a cross flow muffler with the regular path being two 90 degree bends which were connected directly to the muffler and the straight through just opened a butterfly valve which was re purpoused from an electronic throttle valve that I bought from the scrap yard and it made it so that the exhaust did have to go back and fourth inside the muffler and then take the two 90 degree turns and could instead exit straight out through the tail pipe. so I made an adjustable exhaust that was almost impossible to see that it was adjustable if you weren't crawling underneath my car and that wasn't possible without a jack or a lift. I had a 3 position switch inside the car which were programmed to be closed, 10% open or fully open. I personally think that the 10% open setting were the best sounding one so I was pretty much only using that mode and only going into closed mode when I was out late or in an area with a lot of houses so I didn't disturb the people who lived there. I have since sold that car and bought something that isn't too loud, nor too quiet. it is also a rare classic and I love that thing to bits =)
Lowering a car is no different from lifting it, in my opinion. You trade between handling and ground clearance as you see fit, but I think the manufacturers usually get it right stock IMO
This channel is one heck of a gem, its like donut media but simplified, unoverexaggerated, and sometimes has some nice anime stuff, glad i found your channel
It ain’t just old heads calling a lowered/stanced car being ruined; it’s also purists of various generations who get in their feelings because a car wasn’t kept stock or modded a certain way; namely heavily modifying performance which also can “ruin” your car (and chances are it’s usually someone who only upgraded their exhaust and intake, and plasti dipped their trim moldings)
The Skidplates and Rimsavers are going to be a life saver, no one had told me about these and I'm going to be lowering my car a bit + bodykit and nice rims, and really really wanted some way to protect it just in case.
Fun fact: Bose actually made suspension for cars like 4 decades ago or something and had to stop because it was so good at counteracting bumps that they had to stop because people thought it was too good for the time and gave the driver not enough information about the road surface and above all too heavy and expensive for auto makers to implement into their cars
Honestly, the best wheels savers are tires that arent too nareow or even stewtched on thw wheel. A proper tire thats a little wider than the lips of the wheel will protect the wheel without extra items. Some tires also have a rim protector band built into them to assist this even more.
On the active exhaust note, might I suggest QTP cutouts? They install before your cats, and are controlled by a switch next to your seat. I had them installed on my old 2008 Dodge Charger srt8. When open, boy does the car sound loud! I live in So Cal, and drove by police, slowly, without a ticket, which surprised me. I also was able to pass smog. You can get a ticket for having them, but that’s with all modified exhausts. Supposedly they add power too, which I’m not sure of, but overall the qtp cut outs were a great addition!
Ok so we use bumper guards in Bangladesh to protect the front and rear bumpers, they are either polish metal/aluminum tubes or 2 inches high boxed tube running half or underneath the license plate, bended to match the bumper and then either bolted on or welded to your frame. They are not like the ones you see on trucks
I didn't even know air suspension was a thing... then again I don't know how suspension quite works. Regardless, it's cool knowing how some people with lowered cars can avoid damaging their car to bumps.
I really appreciate all your videos there is usually at least one think I can take away that I learned this one was not different,especially on those exhausts I didn't know that we made stuff like that now or those air shocks I really appreciate all the info you throw out there thank you :)
I remember my buddy having active exhaust back in like 2007 on a Turbo civic, and it was bad a**Because you see cops and you just flip a switch. For years i tried to explain to ppl...glad it's a popular thing now.
nah, air suspension is super popular in the classic car scene, which is literally all old people, If you have ever heard of Goodguys, every other car has air suspension
I just hate the guys who buy awful, cheap active exhausts that sound very obvious (I mean, you're not fooling anyone in your 1.2L Toyota) and leave it at the max volume permanently. The rest are fantastic IMO.
Yeah, fuck those people. Though I did once get to see a pair of them race from a stoplight, and they both stalled. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen
First of all it’s not ONLY the older people. Secondly, I was born in the 60s and most of the people I know who are real gear heads have known about adjustable suspension for ever. Hell they used it in drag racing since at-least the 70’s that I personally know about…and would guess probably before that.
"That flashy colour ruined the resale value" So you're buying a car for the person you'll end up selling it to in 5 years? I'd rather get the car for myself and make it look the way *I* want it to look
The last one is useful and I didn’t know but will look into it as it could be useful to me. Also the rim gator seems good too but I may not need that one
Literally all of these. So my affordable dream car is a c6 grandsport. Air suspension so I can lower and raise the car as I please in order to get of bumps or steep driveways while lowering it for looks and performance. Valved exhaust, I don't need to explain that one. Since victory red c6s are rarer than say a gray one or just a normal red I'd get one of the more common colors and wrap it victory red. Depending on the rims I'd either plasti dip them or just get new ones however no matter what id get c6 zr1 inspired sideskirts and spoiler and dip those to look like carbon. As with protection I'd go for both options for obvious reasons. Also tint the tail lights get black color c6 headlights, since c6 headlights are body colored, as well as a cam and headers.
Slamming cars is a look I never really liked. I get that people do it, just not why. Tires jammed up into the wells looks stupid to me. I used to hate wraps, but then I saw a wrap that had a texture that looked cool and would be impossible to paint. I get the appeal. Rim savers are practical and look cool to me.

Air suspension on German cars are a known failure. A spring coilover setup is generally more durable and reliable. Besides airbags are just stupid, adds no value to the car and adds another layer of complexity to the car.
Anything more complex is going to be less reliable, and air suspension is much more complicated than springs
Just the fact to have "air inside a balloon" makes it self-explanatory.

4:38 1 mil is 1/1000th of an inch. A millimeter is 1/25th of an inch. 7 millimeters is over a quarter inch thick. That's like wrapping in a blanket... lol 😆
Who needs bags when you have a pre 2005 German shitbox it’s go’s on the frame wether you like it or not…
That marble wrapped 812 was actually nice tho 👌🏿
3:46 that's a highway in Tuscaloosa huh is it blades footage?
I have a feeling that no one would ever have a question about making an Itasha waifu car. Everyone agrees that they’re the peak of automotive evolution.
Hey blade it ain't you actually wanted to say thank you for your channel I am actually 52 years old and I really want to thank you for your content I am learning a lot from you even though I have about 4 project cars that range from a 2003 Chrysler Sebring to a 2011 Dodge Journey and some of the product you mentioned that I have actually obtained because of the content you put in your videos so thank you thank you thank you
So I’m twelve and I want to learn more about cars and this guy is the perfect teacher for me😅
Exhaust cut outs have always been a thing and air suspension has been around since the sixties I'd hardly call that unknown
It was always a thing in the low-rider community...
@@EagleScoutmano Most lowriders still use hydraulics since it allows the car to actually hop off the ground. Very rare for a lowrider to use air suspension. Mini trucks and leadsleds tend to use them more often
I learned 2 new things today the wheel one and the splitter one nice 👍
