just out of curiosity

Post by BorepYano »

took my car to get serviced (100k service), joe and rick's no complains at all, nice guys, not the cheapest but at least with them I know what i asked for and was charged for was done.
but... any reason why my exhaust note sounds deeper now? (once again, no complains, it sounds better now, but was just curious what could have done that?)

depends what you had changed
but replacing any thing such as spark plugs air filters belts oil water leads ect
will all make your car better in one way or another

lol fair enough.
just didn't think the service could make that much of a difference, enough to change the sound of the exhaust.

thanks guys :)

yeah it's done 140k, i wasnt sure if the 100k service was done, so i took it to joe and rick's. turned out it seemed like only the timing belt was changed at 100k, but all the seals etc are rock hard so.
I'm not complaining about the price at all, I'm sure there are cheaper out there, but their prices are very fair and i trust them to do the work.
