Questions that don't deserve their own thread!

I'll start off.
I'm going to try and build a set of 3-1 headers for my V6 as there aren't any proper aftermarket parts and the stock manifolds are fucked beyond belief.

I calculated the ideal diameter of the primaries however, and the calculation tells me that they need to be smaller than the exhaust ports. To me, it seems ill-advised to do so, but the math tells me something else. Wat do?

I've got to replace my rear driver side tire due to a nail in it. Is it better to get two new tires instead of one? My co-workers say I'm much better off replacing both rear tires. They said something about the balance of the car will be off or some shit like that. Is it true?
>>
>>14874260
How did you go about these calculations?
>>
>>14874448
>not just getting your tire patched
so you blew the sidewall or it's a giant hole right? There's a reason you're not paying less that $20 to get your tire patched from a single nail RIGHT?!

>replace both or balance will be off
this is somewhat true but after a rotation will be negligible; if you're buying a new tire just get the same tread pattern. Tread pattern matching is more of a concern
>if all tires wore at even speeds we wouldn't have tire rotations
>disregard if you have AWD, you "have" to get both

Any other California bros with modified engines? I want to supercharge my car but I've heard pretty bad stories of people getting pulled over with modified engines. Anyone have any experience with this? Is it worth it to try?

2005-2009 is my favorite body style. <3
>>
>>14870873
These 2011-2014 Mustang V6s would be a great DD. 300 hp, 30 MPG, safety features that incorporate an exploding driveshaft to keep you from going over 116 mph (Ford engineers think of everything)

What are good sleepers?
I'm looking for one (I will admit part of it is because I want to be an automotive special snowflake) and because my mother would flip shit if I were to buy an obviously fast car and I'm not too keen on driving an appliance/something anemic. I am okay with wrenching on a car to give it a little more go (I.E swapping out the supercharger on a series II 3800) but nothing like doing an LS swap because, 1, I do not own the tools necessary, and 2, taking it to shop would be a little too much money.
What I have right now in mind is:
06-08 Impala SS
GM cars with the supercharged L67 (Monte Carlo, Riviera, Regal GS, 04-05 Impala SS) because I can go to the Eaton shop near my house, buy a racing supercharger, and bolt it in/replace it
V6 Maxima
Mazdaspeed 6
Saabaru Aero (only reason this is on the list is because it's a subaru with a saab body)
I'm trying to keep in line with cars that are easy to maintain and with cheap parts, which is why I don't have anything like, say, a VW Phaeton. I know how to work on VW's, but I'm not too fond of going to the junkyard, getting a Passat power window motor, and wrestling it in the door for 6 hours.
So TL;DR, ITT post sleepers, suggest sleepers, post cars that have go with minimal plumbing

Why are Hella horns such a normie car meme? It's such an odd component to accent. They seem especially popular in the Subaru community because Subarus typically have anemic stock horns, but why mount them front-and-center in the grill? It looks so trashy.

You'll never get a straight answer from any Subie owner, they all say their stock horn is too quiet which is a great point for people that use their horns on a daily basis for emergencies I suppose.

Skyline and Supra would be the most fun, but I'd have to pick the NSX because it hauls in the most pussy.

RX7, because its my favorite car and I have a boner for rotaries in general.

NSX purely because i could sell it and then buy the other three.

Because people won't assume you are a middle aged mother. It's literally the gayest looking car a man could drive next to the miata. I remember watching 2 youtube videos on the miata and both guys were clearly fags, Don't be a fag OP, the ST is trash, if you tried to pick a girl up and she followed you to your car, she would tell you how she left her oven on and needs to leave or that she forgot something and to just wait for her as she walks away and never cones back. Now if you are actually a fag in real life then by all means get an ST. Girls will stay away and men will know you are gay making it easier to pick up men
