i think its the receiver for the valve .. not certain !
did the coolest MOD EEVVEERR in exactly 1 minute :P ....
i tried to program the ON and OFF button for the valves to the garage opener, and what do you know .. works like a charm !! i like a stock look, so i hate the idea of a remote laying around ! on the inside (except for the steering wheel) looks like i just drove it off the dealership floor. i took small vid, but i think im gonna wait for the GO pro to arrive to take proper vids

That or a supercharger 
What were your hp gains? I'm afraid of catching the mod bug with this car...it already happened on my bike and it is quite a consuming hobby. My gf believes I love my "toys" as much as I love her
As far as I know, I think all other mods you could do would be mostly cosmetic or for weight savings.

can't drive a bike but considering going to bike school this summer, maybe that will be a cheaper way to satisfy the speed demon within me !
other than that, im also thinking of either a GTR and getting the switzer p800 package for it, or the new shelby/camaro ZL1 and start modding those further ... would have to be a lease though :P no mullaaa ...
i need to make this my career i swear
What mods did your car come with if i may ask, and how long has the system been on it ? any trouble ?

Buying and modding a Ducati would be MUCH cheaper and easier
Open up your own shop and then you can do whatever you want. Rob @ Vivid told me about how he got started and it seems like he's doing exactly what he wants - modding cars as a showcase to market parts and get sweet rides in the process.
This car came with:
-H&R coilovers
-HRE 20" P43S in bronze
-Agency Power headers and full Valvetronic exhaust
-Powerchip tune
-Vorsteiner Aero Package
The car itself already came with the AMG leather and performance package. I'm not sure how long everything's been installed, but probably about a year. So far, so good
Just a little rattling from the valve actuator/butterfly valve, which I'm told is normal.

Can somebody please post a high-res picture of the engine bay and also how they connected the vacuum line into the evap. I just installed the AP exhaust but cant find the line to get vacuum from.
Thanks
Thanks

There's a little bit of a drone, but not much. I can be hard to hold a conversation under acceleration, but once you back off, it gets very quiet. Cruising speed/rpms is practically normal. I think the "quiet" mode is mostly noticeable outside of the cars vs. the inside. I had Rob fashion me some midpipes with cats so I could pass smog, but you'd have to get a hook up for the visual inspection. I was pretty close to passing without them, though.

sounds amazing! i really want headers on my car too but i think its too early for more power, otherwise I would be left with no more power mods to look forward to next year! haha
btw if you want more power, I think you could get your car dyno tuned instead of just being boxed tuned by kleeman. that should free up some last bit of power you have left

I have this exact system with an OE Tune and I cant say enough about it. Get lots of compliments and turn a lot of heads. Your car looks great bud!
