I’ve been really enjoying editing in LR, but the interface runs extremely slowly (not a hardware issue, have checked drivers and this PC can run all sorts of other photo/video editing software so I’m starting to think it’s just LR). Thinking of hopping across to Classic as that doesn’t seem to have the same issues for me.

One thing I really like is the folder structure I’ve got for my library in LR. Is there any way to hop across such that my existing raws/edits are just there, ready to go? Would like this transition to be as seamless as possible.

Side question, how are the native denoising/masking/object removal tools in Classic? I really like LR’s AI-powered tools for small touch-ups and improving photos shot at high ISO.

I’m aware there’s been a bit of discussion on this previously, but now that we’re at the end of the Mk5’s run I’d like to see what people think about the above debate. I’m keen on changing the downpipe on my 2024 ZF8, however I’m not really interested in a tune just yet - really chasing sound and not significantly more performance. I’m not terribly worried about emissions but wouldn’t mind peoples’ opinions on things like the smell as well.

I’ve seen from reading threads in the past that *supposedly* the Active Autowerks catless doesn’t throw a CEL, but I’m sceptical unless people here are pretty sure. Otherwise, for the high-flow catted options, is the sound difference still significant?

If it matters, I’m looking at getting a valved aftermarket exhaust as well, likely later (although if people think that achieves better sound better I’d consider it first).
