Okay, well Discount doesn't charge extra.
What have you done to your CX-9 today?

So I have a GR86 with AWE touring exhaust for 2 years. Love that sound in the boxer engine. Now the kids are getting older, I have to sell the car and can only keep the CX-9. The design on the muffler is quite similar between GR86 and CX-9 so I went to a muffler shop and have them welded the AWE muffler from the GR86 on to the CX-9. I kept the stock resonator and cat from the CX-9 because I don't want it loud.
It turned out surprisingly nice rumble sound without being obnoxious. All I have to say the same muffler on different cars do make a huge difference!

Nice work. I'm surprised that was an easy fitment.
Would you say it sounds similar to this?

Can you share a clip of inside and outside sound with this upgrade..?

Haven't had a chance to post in the last few months. So busy with two young children, and work, but here is a little summary of the last three months work...and some from today! My 2019 CX-9 just crossed 57,000~ km / 35,000~ miles
New rear rotors & pads
Transfer case & rear differential service (fluid drain & fill)
Transmission drain & fill
New spark plugs
New tires - Pirelli Scorpion AS3 for summer - Nice ride over the last 3+ months I've had them on.
A very light SOS pad on the SS tips. Wild carbon buildup over the winter.
My yearly replacement of the air & cabin filter
And today's fun! A wash, vacuum, window clean, quick wax, and 303 treatment to the interior before another few summer road trips around BC.

Not the best quality but here you go.
1st one, windows down
2nd one, windows up.
Doesn't matter if it's sport mode or not since they aren't valved.
Doesn't sound bad, how does it compare to when the cut back was in the GR86?

Hey everyone,
Today I switched the location of my front license plate. Originally, it was center-mounted, but now I have it off-center. I used a tow-hook license plate mount. I think it makes the car look much much better. Obviously no front plate would be the dream, but I live in NY where we’re mandated to have a front plate.
The dealership had drilled into the bumper to install the center license plate mount, so I got paint-matched bumper plugs to cover the holes.
Let me know what you guys think!

Nice! I used to have my plate mounted there too for a while. Had to find a different solution when I was removing the plate to take off the front bumper. The screw that holds the plate holder onto the threaded rod that screws into the frame, stripped off. I decided not to buy another rho-plate after that.
I also decided to switch the location because my car has the front parking sensors. The plate was close enough to them that it would trigger the sensors constantly.

I have the 2016 model year so I don’t have any front parking sensors or camera. You win some, you lose some hahaha. I do sometimes wish I had them as parking in NYC is something else.
Installed the Ceika coilovers on the 9. I had them on for about 2 months before taking them off and just going back to lowering springs. Nothing wrong with the coilovers but I guess I’m just a set it and forget it kind of guy. The coilovers had so much adjustability and I didn’t have the time to have the car in the garage to adjust up or down and mess with it. I work nights and my wife uses the car during the day so the 9 doesn’t really have any down time. I have two young kids and on the weekends we usually have activities. With the lowering springs it was just installed and forgotten about. I was going to return the coilovers but I didn’t realize I had a 15 day return window. I’ll be putting them up on FB marketplace and the classifieds. I don’t have time to down the 9 like that with my life schedule unfortunately.

Damn, looks like someone will be getting a great deal on quality coilovers soon lol. I would have loved to snap these up, but after installing springs, I'm actually pretty happy with the ride height now.
