It's great isn't it? I personally like the slight stealthness to it under 3k. Can go through neighborhoods without draing attention, unless you want to that is .

yea I do like the sleeper feel to that. I just want a little more growl nothing crazy. I think I may start with just the resonator and then do the mufflers if I'm still not satisfied.

Well I have been trying to get a video but I just can't get a good sound clip on it. It does sound very good though. It changed the way the car feels and sounds completely. Highly recommend mod. I go on Monday for my manic tune at redline speedworx in NJ and then I will slowly digress into a hybrid turbo and a stage 3 tune.

I've got almost new run flats on it. (that way when I bought it) I plan on running conti dws's when they go.

You ever get a sound clip?

Also, not related but did you used to be on corral.net? (I did, same username)

No sound clip yet. My buddy is going to follow me in his 3 series and get some sound clips. I can't get a good one inside the car. It sounds awesome though. I'm not really sure what's next I'm thinking about an aquamist system but nick at manic said I can go stage 3 w/o it so I may start tucking money aside for a jmturbocoopers k03 hybrid turbo and the stage 3 tune.

Runflats are heavy, switching to lighter conventional tires instead of runflats usually reduces rotational mass thus increasing the overall torque.

Interesting in hearing more driving impressions with your recent mods. Sound clip?

So these are the best sound clips I could get from inside the car. It sounds way louder burblier and meaner in person. When I can get my buddy to follow me I'll put more up. I'm in talks with Nicholas at manic about going stage 3 but I need to build up the bank again first. I put $4000 down on the car and bought all of my mods and the tune. Meth is next hopefully Mario can give me some guidance there as I'm new to meth then I think Nicholas is going to sway me to go with Owen development as opposed to jmturbocoopers for my hybrid turbo then back to jersey for the stage 3.

Here's another one where you can hear the car pretty well and this is with the windows up.
