Does anyone besides me find the car motor a little noisy? lol (and the exhaust) 
Sorry about the lame footage.... I'll try and get some better if I can get the turd out of the snow pile.. (mom thought it'd be funny to bury the car even more!! damn mothers)

Ya, if you wanna make more work for yourself, yank the valve covers and re do the rockers.

i think if the people in the back seat don't like it they should not be in the car. but that's just me

From what my mechanic said it is valve noise.. Thanks for the compliments. I just going to drive it as is till the motor is done with (still have to get the trans replaced)
I love the BORLA!! it's nice and bassy. but everyone says it's annoying...
Also the car has quite down a little since it's been running more often. (sat too long)

VERY DUMB idea in the middle of Winter! You need a 5W or 10W bottom number in order to turn the motor over on very cold (-20) mornings. A 20W 50 will be much too thick to quickly get moving and will put a lot a strain on the battery. A much better oil would be a Synthetic 5W 30 for the Winter and then switch to a 10W 40 in the summer if you have some valve noise.

Not if you run a good synthetic - they should flow freely at much lower temps than pet. based oil, regardless of the viscosity.
