5 Car Mods Older Enthusiasts STILL Don’t Know About!

- We’re told to respect our elders, but lately, they haven’t been giving us much respect either. As the world continues to evolve, so do things in it. Chances are, if a problem exists, we've already found a solution for it. New mods have been made to solve old problems, but older car enthusiasts, still have zero idea what said mods are, and proceed to disrespect and laugh at us.
"How does that moron even drive their car? It's so low, ruined". They say about a car equipped with Air Suspension that is simply in it's Aired Out State.
"Why is their car so loud when driving through the mountains? What about when he's in a neighborhood? So unnecessary." They say, to a person equipped with Active Exhaust who can change it based on the setting.
"Who wastes money on Gold Paint? Why would you make car panels out of brushed metal or Marble? I can feel the texture, don't tell me it's just a wrap! It feels just like Marble!" Hate to break it to you, but it is indeed a wrap. Wrap can now mimic Carbon Fiber Weaves, Brushed Metal Texture, AND Marble Tables even.

They don’t. There are many cars (like the gt500) which are too loud from factory. Fucking ridiculous.

@@vernascality oh thanks wait...
I remember seeing some custom car TV show on that treated vinyl wrapping like some super advanced sacred technique. Seeing five middle-aged men being stoked that they can repaint their customers car with the fraction of the price of actually painting it was interesting to say the least.
and since it also protects the paint it also helps with scratches and rust
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.
there’d be no point in different modes 😞
Why..?
maybe in California
Thank God loud cars are annoying
@@RuggedCoyote69 I know they are annoying when all the time but u need the sound when on tracks
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 was actually just wondering when you was gonna upload and the second I look away from my phone I get the notification, great work dude!
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
Know wonder the car is dragging along the ground. 1/2 inch thick wrap must way a tonne. Lol.
when he said 9 mm i was like "wait what" haha

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?
Upvote, anayone answer who got experience pls
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.
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’ve said the first one “this is undriveable” thanks for explaining loll
Oof
@@BladedAngel i forgor 💀
Its ugly tho
@@Doman9191 when you like your own comment
@@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
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.
Your back and a great video!!! Please continue
I never left. Wut
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 :)

Definitely learned some stuff from this, thanks!
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.
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 =)
Some cool new things I learned today ;)
Also that corvette looks fantastic
Ay new bladed vid, gotta love it
Hey, I don't complaint. Free Knowledges. Keep up the good work man!
I never knew about curb savers. Thanks!
I was just thinking of you and this pops up!!
I thought I was the only one 😅
@@Impulse1226 lol
I had no idea about the last two things, thanks!
0:20 middle aged dad loves air springs
he loves the idea of being able to go way down to raised plus the heavy-duty but soft
Just getting into cars, and the rim savers blew my mind actually lol
Yoooooo, you used the Honkai Impact 3rd bridge theme (gion) well done Bladed! Even more love for your content 💙💙💙💙
The wheel protection things at the end are really useful! Even daily drivers should buy those.
Agreed
The bagged lc500 in the thumbnail is one of my FAVORITE examples of an LC as a whole, super clean
Nah for me
I’m actually going ahead and buying some of those cosmetic protection mods because they make that much sense to me! Even if my car is bone stock
Nice vid dude keep it up
I used to not know about wraps, and I thought it was only paint. Somewhere along the line I furred it out and now things make more sense
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
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
I'm not even a car guy, but I love this guy's content
Using the song "like the wind" and starting with an air suspension explanation is just genius
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
Love the Lexus LC500 in the thumbnail! But it looks way better stock!
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!
Oh i wanted to mention i saw ur car at matsuri and as a new car enthusiast it was awesome to see it in person
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 never knew active exhaust was a thing and now I want one
Damn your video is my best birthday gift so far
Keep up the great work
Also come to Boston!
Happy Birthday my guy:)
Happy Birthday !
Ur cracked at Happy birthday my guy uwu (ik it doesn't make sense lmao)
I learned 2 new things today the wheel one and the splitter one nice 👍
i wholeheartedly agree on your sign holding idea
I find today that there's soo much information that it's hard to wade through everything to find the nugget you're trying to find
Hey Bladed, when your got your rimsavers did you get them from the european rimblades, or rimbladesusa? I've been looking to get some and it is very confusing trying to decipher reviews on the two companies. Thanks :-)
For air suspension, can confirm, I work on mostly Freightliners and pneumatic trailers
3:46 that's a highway in Tuscaloosa huh is it blades footage?
Nice to know your opinion on cali lmao😅👍👍
Just wait until you open the pandoras box to Freevalve or plasma spark plugs.💪🏽
I like how this considers the cars doing a little sit
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.
Great video as always Bladed! one little question on the air suspension: if i would like a "softer" ride the aftermarket air suspension would do it like the proposal of the OEM brands, where the air is used to make the ride softer than the normal mcpherson suspension? or the aftermarket is only used to slam it without confort benefits?
i'm asking that because i'm saving some money to get my first car, but what i saw for my price point is very unconfortable to daily, so if necessary i would save a little more to swap to air to get a more confortable ride.
BTW, sorry if i made some mistakes, english is not my first language.
im pretty sure that air bags can help with bumps and such, but will most likely cause a little more body roll then usual
Hydrodipping was around since at least the great depression, the dash of my first clunker 48 ford had wood hydrodip from factory
Ngl I don't really like stupidly low cars, I'm more of a rally/off-road guy
What about Donks?
@@mattevans4377 not really a fan of donks either, I just don't like the wheels being too big compared to the car
I agree, not a fan of super low cars, but I'm also more a truck guy lmao
Even as someone who likes track, I think super low road cars look hideous. Now, a little bit of drop, to the degree that it's actually functional, I absolutely love. When there's design considerations regarding ride height, like irregularities in the road and lean in cornering, I love it. Unfortunately, that's not what most people with lowered cars do. They just want it as low as it can possibly go for absolutely no practical reason. Air suspension is fine, but most of the lowered cars I've seen are fixed, and pretty much need a crane to get over speed bumps
Same
im not even a car guy but i find these vids super interesting :D
I need that universal skid plate for our 993. My first time seeing that product.
now I finally know why c7s normally have darker outer exhaust pipes LOL
I remember I used to wonder since I'm a c7 fan
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)
yes
That Mini had me in love…
I live in Georgia, when you were at the gas station at the start of the video there was an overwatch dva mini Cooper there, thought this was funny cause I saw it in the target parking lot and I thought it was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
That marble wrapped 812 was actually nice tho 👌🏿
my dad always always tells me he doesn't know much about cars but he literally answers so many questions about them
2:48 "those butterfly vlalves" 😂
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
wow this is information I could use in the future
wraps keep gettin thicker and thicker and thiccer
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
What if its straight piped lol
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
The amount of looks I get at muscle cars shows when I roll up a bagged mustang GT is insane
I live in Brazil, and here 99% of lowered cars don't use air suspension, they are literally low on purpose all the time and they scrape everywhere
I’m old school aircooled scene personally and I’ve seen a bit of all this except the rim saver stuff.. I’m surprised to hear about them since I’ve seen them a lot, always thought it was paint
I love this channel
I put active exhaust on my 93 honda del sol about a year ago best idea ever
Ahh the Lexus LC 500 I see you're a man of culture as well
My autotech teacher has butterfly exhaust valves on his 06 Pontiac GTO and it's the coolest thing to hear the car go from "vwooom" to "bvVROOOM"
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.
Was that "like the wind" from gran turismo playing in the background
When people say that a car is "ruined" it infuriates me because the car is designed for the driver, and not for you. Dont put stance on your car or drop your car, but dont bully those who do. Hot rodders dealt with the same bs and now you respect them dont you?
And chances are, most if not all those same people who call a car ruined, will turn around and say a lowrider, mini truck, a slammed Bug or lead sled looks nice,
So would you respect if any car like r34,enzo,etc has dong wheels?
@@sehhmie5483 yes.
