Downtown LA: Giant Slip and Slide – Bad Idea or Fun Idea?

Image from Slide the City (http://www.slidethecity.com/)

Recently an event that went viral is now on the minds of LA residents who are debating whether this event is worth the fun or is “environmentally wasteful”.

Slide the City is an event where a giant slip and slide was put together, spanning a few blocks in Salt Lake City, allowing thousands of people to simply slide their way down and have fun while doing so. Now all the buzz is bringing this event to many parts of the US with a few events planned in major California cities.

However, as fun this may look, many LA residents find this to be a major waste of water especially due to the fact that LA county has been facing severe drought and has even laid down restrictions on water usage. Is this event worth it for a day of enjoyment or will our city pay a hefty price? Either way, Slide the City LA is scheduled for late Sept but there is a petition urging the event coordinators to reconsider holding the event.

What is your take on this?

Infiniti Q60 exhaust component compatibility.

As Tanabe wrapped up their summer R&D session, they tested all existing G35, G37, 350Z, 370Z exhaust components on the new Q60. Although the vehicle is visually identical to last year’s G37, and many people may feel that this is enough information to assume compatibility, in typical Tanabe fashion – all parts were physically fit to the car and test driven, sound levels were measured and dyno tested.

The first part tested was the Medalion Touring (T70132A),

This “axle-back” system simply replaces the stock muffler, and just the rearmost section of the piping. This alone unleashed 6 wheel horsepower, going from a baseline figure of 278 wheel horsepower to 284. The torque figures also exhibited a positive change, going from 225 ft/lbs to 231.5 ft/lbs. The exhaust note became noticeably more aggressive as well, however when measured – the overall sound level increased by only 1 decibel. All testing was, of course done with no ECU tuning – to emulate exactly what you or I would expect by simply bolting off this exhaust. Could power levels be increased with ECU tuning? Very likely. Would I hold off on purchasing the axle-back system because of my stock electronics? Definitely not. I would enjoy the added power and torque, not to mention exhaust note, right out the box.

While the car was up on the lift, the appropriate Y-pipe and mid-pipe were also tested – confirming that T50063 and T50132 were direct fits on this new vehicle.

here it is, mocked up off the car previous to installation.

And installed on the vehicle. At this point, the T70132A, T50063 and T50132 combine to become a true full catback system.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints – this setup (with the mid pipe and y-pipe) was not able to be dyno tested.
