Drag racing videos are absolutely worthless if we can not see the actual winner (not showing the time and trap speed, not even showing who crosses the line first).

The only clips that I was sure I could even hear the BS was against the electric cars. Sounds like a vacuum.
Amen.
I'm sorry but whoever makes these videos is wasting his and everyone's time unless he tries to demonstrate the sound at the start.

I don't know; How many companies are willing to do the R&D for such a relatively small amount of cars ?.How many of those owners of said cars are going to want to swap out their exhaust? Will the enforcement of EPA laws especially in the EU make BS owners wary or will the swap not be a problem as far as that goes ? If said owners are going to track them there is also the problem of db compliance too. Do you think there will be any problems with MB as far as warranty goes?

Scott:
Yes there is BUT you would bring the California EPA and Air Resources Board down on you.
There are aftermarket cut outs available for a little longer that will give you what you want without going too far.
I think RENNTECH still has them in stock.

Thanks for the great ideas! I'm going to see if I can buy my 2018 coupe back. (And keep the roadster.)

On a side note, I did remove all the carpet, panels and sound deadening from the rear of my car. It is hella loud now without the added raspy-ness of removing the cats.

I am real happy you are finally seeing movement on your BS. I think you are right they may be getting ready to put it on a vessel possibly over the weekend. Then 10-12 days to Brunswick and soon thereafter one of your many garages.
I should be right behind you. My Production End is 8/30 and hopefully then direct to the port and a vessel.
You may have yours by 9/15 or earlier.
Very best wishes
Jerry.

FINALLY. You just may be taking delivery by 9/15 or so.
Congratulations!!
I was supposed to have mine built on 8/30 which could have put us on the same ship. But as you no doubt read Burt has found out that production is running behind. So, I am guessing I may be in the last of the delayed “August 10” group.
Now the question is will the 176 BS already at the port be loaded on ships and cleared out in the next week.
Did you get an answer on the exhaust yet?

Soulsea , our cars are moving at the exact same time. Your updates match the ones I’m getting on my car they must’ve been sitting together and are now moving at the same time. Mine is diamond white and coming to the northeast. Let’s keep each other posted on arrival dates. Best of luck and congrats in advance!
