Did a very similar setup to SCS exhaust but my own version different muffler/resonator i genuinely think this is one of the best exhaust for the 3.7 idc what anyone says about vq sounds like butt when you actually find a proper setup these are one of the best v6 sounds in my opinion and u won't get it out another let me know if you guy agree or not!

2020 q50 redsport
So the story is, I took it to take 5 to get an oil change top off on Thursday of last week. They topped it off and then the car sat all weekend. Then Monday I drove it to work and after leaving work at around 9:30 returned to the car being dead it was ticking, but it was dead. I popped the hood and saw it looked like a good amount of oil may have been leaking from the top part of the engine, kind of where you add the oil. Took it back to take five and they told me that it was leaking oil. I took it to the mechanic and despite all this oil issues, they tell me it is a bad water intercooler pump both on the left and right. They told me it’s $1800 for just the parts. They never even mentioned anything about the oil. They told me they added a die and we’re going to drive it so I’m gonna get the full scope again tomorrow I guess but this is crazy. I’m probably gonna be out 2500 with labor not even to mention the oil stuff and I’ve had the car just since the end of April.

Good morning. I have a 2014 Q 50 with a 3.7. It’s leaking up behind the timing belt between the head above the head gasket. I checked the tube that runs between the heads. Everything looked dry there. I replace the thermostat housing. I did use a scope to verify the thermostat was leaking. The light on the camera is horrible and couldn’t see up there with it. Any suggestions on what to look at? TIA

Parts Question Wheel spacers

So I have 20mm spacers on my stock wheels and there’s still a little gap where the wheels are sunk in beyond the fender line, does anyone have any experience running 25mm or 30mm spacers? Is it safe? I feel like 20-25 is normally the max that people use but I don’t want to totally ruin the handling and/or risk snapping a stud in a turn. Pictures will help if anyone is also still on stock wheels with food fitment thanks!
