Those specs are the same as mine, I've got a Europipe stage 1 quiet

On oil changes, with draining the turbos I put in 8.5 quarts and that puts my gauge at 2 bars down from top

Local shop installed new engine mounts, coils and plugs. I think my coil packs were in bad shape; the couple of times the vehicle has been out in the wet in my ownership, I'd get a misfire code (can't recall which cylinder). It happened to be raining when I picked the car up, and no issues at all on the drive home.

Only 35,000 miles, but I presume the coils can age.

Even with new engine mounts, my driver's side exhaust tip is a bit lower than the right. That appears to be the exhaust itself, and not the mounts.

If you drain the case and the tank then always add at least eight quarts.

I installed a GT3 dipstick to compare after an oil change. My electronic oil level gauge measures one bar below full after I add 8.5 quarts of fresh oil. The dipstick barley registers on the tip of the dipstick.(with engine running ) So, I would conclude that the electronic measurements are accurate after an oil change. But, I am not sure how linear the measurement are after some oil is burned-off over time.

If my EP Stage 2 Loud were any louder, it would be too loud for me.

Finally got new rubber Michelin 235/35-19 and 305/30-19 PS4 replacing 13 year old tires (yikes). No issues so far. Tire rack came to my house and did the install.
