Low end spool is a lot smoother, a little power did shift to the mid range, but it's feels great. A better flowing manifold and head will help a lot. Mid range hit hard and top end keeps on pulling.

Sound clip coming soon...




you got more pics of your exhaust system?

Installed powerflex lower torque arm inserts. Boy was it a pain in the a$$. Not as easy as it was in my R53. Needed to trim a little here and there. Having a 1x30 belt grinder made quick work in shaving it down nicely. There's not a lot of room to work with in maneuvering that torque arm and then with the added poly inserts, it doesn't flex much. What I thought would be a 15 min job turned into a all morning job.

A little more NVH but I was used to it since I had it in my R53 before.

I see the PDC and steering angle sensor are active. Any links to the hardware involved?

Looks nice! Wiper is kind of useful here in Boston though.

Question: What bumper protector lip are you running. Looks nice. My CPO has a bunch of scratches and nicks, this would help a lot.

I got it from Outmotoring, heavy duty rear bumper guard. It helps. Didn't realize how much that top part of the rear bumper gets banged with things...

Installed Hawk HPS pads. A noticeable improvement. Still though of all the improvements I've done to my car the biggest, most impressive one was the bavsound speakers. Absolute night and day difference.

Yep went with the competition. I went back and forth with the idea of not doing it but for the dollar amount of the up charge and ideas of bigger upgrades down the line i just went with it.

Im impressed with the quality of the intercooler for the price and in general and I have owned several other brands across many cars.

I actually went through ECS it looks like they offer the same price point its possible it has MAP (minimum advertised price) so vendors generally have the same price. ECS offered free shipping on the competition not sure that wagner does...

Do you have a full on front shot? I think i like it but need to see more. I think it would look good with my red and black but i would need to black out the chrome rings.

I didn't manage one but I will snap one for you tomorrow. Getting the piano trim is my next thing to do.
