Ackime Snow

H&r springs
Headers and down pipes
Ecu and TCU tune
Delete resonator

Sound like a good start.

If you need anything let me know. We actually have a good ecu/tcu tune sale right now

How much did you pay for the car if its not a secret?

I just had the secondary cats and resonator removed. It is an amazing difference in sound for such a small change. I'm positive I'm getting better response also.

14k from a Mercedes dealer

I removed the secondary cats on my black series and it really came alive at wot. How does your car sound at start up or does it only come into play at wot?

badbenzz

PM with pricing

gofisch

Its noticeable at start up and any type of revving. At idle its not obnoxious either. As soon as they started the car for me to listen to it I grinned. I'll try and get a clip up later in my Secondary/Resonator removal thread.

Before thee real modding begins sent car to my mechanic to replace the reae main seal that was leaking value cover gaskets and all the filters. The ac compressor also had a small leak. The car should be perfect now.
considering BBS LMs just cant justify the price based on what i paid for the car. Guess ill stsrt with the resonator and secondary cat delete first.

The sound clip is in this thread if you haven't heard it.

I heard it and Yes

Here is the first mod. Next Saturday the girl has an appointment with the stereo shop for a complete makeover.

gofisch

Definitely want to know about the stereo makeover. Mine is driving me crazy.

badbenzz

Putting in a Kenwood Excelon DNX893S with a 5 channel Alpine Amp and Focal 5 1/4 components front and back along with a swallow subwoofer from Focal to hopefully fit and replace the existing one on the rear decklid. I will also add a backup camera and adapter for the steering wheel. It should sound as anything would be better than the stock radio.

gofisch

So you are having the whole thing re-wired?

PJmak

Love the shift know. You got a link for that one?

badbenzz

Yes the entire system

badbenzz

Just got the G-paddles and am looking for a shop to do the resonator/2nd cat delete. Wheels are also next just can't find something I like and can't justify BBS LM's.

badbenzz

G-paddles installed and they work great just wish they were metal.

Awesome! May I ask where you purchased the shift knob and paddle shifters?
