masterwacker- Was the HX muffler the only upgrade done to the exhaust? I've been on the fence between the HX muffler and/or the trombone for a minute. My wife is also sensitive about exhausts, but I want to do something to help the tone a little bit without being too boomy in the cabin.

I was really hoping this would be the cause. It has idled the same amount of time several times since then and it hasn't done it at all in the colder winter months. So maybe if environmental conditions are right for it to happen, it makes the condensation worse. I'm in Mississippi and it can be...

I've had my '19 for 17k miles and I have noticed a couple of times where there would be smoke coming from the exhaust after an extended idle period (15-20 min). One of the guys from work saw it too, coming from my driver's side exhaust. I've noticed it maybe twice in a year. Once leaving my...
