Hello Everyone,

I did some research and came across a few things I wanted to get done to my car when I pull it out of storage for the summer. I just wanted to run it by some of you to see what you would think/recommend. Any help is appreciated.


ipe full exhaust (headers, cats and rest of piping with mufflers)
carbon fibre cold air intakes
full coilover suspension (kw, I believe the company for it)
eurocharged tune (not sure which stage)

I have the same car! I'd be a bit wary of IPE. I think there was some weird situation where one of their divisions split from the main company, so you might want to be sure you're getting the real thing if you end up going that route. Carbon intakes don't seem to make a ton of difference in performance, so ROW boxes plus better filters might be more cost effective. KW makes great stuff if you're planning on tracking the car. If it's just for the sake of lowering, springs might be another option. Can't go wrong with any of the big name tunes. Then again, this is just my two cents and it's worth asking around.

Do you already have all these parts?

Are you aware that what you've listed is going to run you almost $10k when all is said and done?

If so, sweet! For the tune, when you get it just tell EC you have headers and they'll do the rest.

Headers - are always good, no need for a full exhaust though.
Carbon fiber intake - waste of money for extremely small if any gains. Unless you just really like the look of it.
Coilovers - are you tracking the car any?
EC Tune - as PurpleHeartAMG said, if you get headers, EC will update whatever tune you have from them .

I was the member who had issues with IPE Europe. IPE Europe is a fake company.
I now have the proper IPE headers supplied by IPE Taiwan, and couldn't be happier.
They headers are very well made, and look awesome. I've picked up a lot of power.
And the service from IPE Taiwan was excellent.

Yes I am prepared to spend 20k CAD ( I am in Toronto) I don't want any cheap parts.

arun.6ix

Alright, so what you are saying is we don't need a full exhaust that IPE sells for like $8000 CAD that I was interested in?

-What kind of headers would I need, do I need to make any other modifications to any part of the exhaust setup?

-I like the look of the carbon fibre intakes.

-I will possibly go to the track 1-2 times a year and that is a maybe, the coilovers were more for a bit of an aggressive stance and can handle more power.

Maybe you should read up on here first before posting nonsensical things. The search function works really well for answering questions.

arun.6ix

Cool story bro.

I am Jeff

You obviously aren't looking for our opinion. Nobody here is impressed that you want to overspend $8k CAD for an IPE exhaust system. We aren't here to validate your ego!

If you used the search function, you'll realize that there are many threads speaking to power gains and best upgrades.

arun.6ix

Who said anything about overspend? its $5500 USD which works out to around $8000 CAD. Even MBH ones will cost around $7000 CAD after being shipped etc. So what are you talking about?

Don't tell me to search when you have done nothing but repeat what someone else just said. So cut it out.

BLKROKT

You seem to be making a lot of friends here already. That's nice. Good luck with that.

arun.6ix

What a mistake it was to post a thread and ask for help and have people you and the other guy bash me and then tell me "good luck with that"

MOD please delete this thread. This is bull****

BLKROKT

I don't remember bashing anyone, so slow your roll snowflake. I think it was just a little friendly advice to try searching, as all of your questions have been asked about thirteen thousand times.

And you were saying nonsensical things:
Modification to exhaust for headers: You would know this answer after reading here for about 5min
Carbon airboxes: You asked for opinions, and then when you got not one, but two, you said that you just want them because you "like the look" (even though nobody will ever see them but whatever). Ok, that's fine, then what do you want to hear exactly? That they do or don't look nice? Do you want to argue that? How can we soothe your hurt feelings here, just tell us.

This clearly indicates that you didn't do even a few minutes of cursory reading here before saying dumb things. And that's annoying to pretty much everyone who's been a member of a forum before.

You asked for opinions. Well you got some. You're welcome.

I took it as them saying IPE is overpriced regardless of location.

EC did a great job with my tune.

CF airboxes seem like a waste to me and probably others because of what they met vs what they cost, but if they're going to make you happy I guess that's not a waste. God knows I had enough CF on my 204.

If the roads are bad up there from harsh winters I'd be weary of dropping the car at all. I had to sell my S4 when I lived in Baltimore because of how bad the roads were, and it was on H&R coilovers.

Savage-wp

IPE isn't badly priced. It's cheaper than MBH, and some of the others.
Power is made in the headers. You can buy the IPE headers and Mid pipes for about half the cost of the total system. It bolts straight up to the stock resonators.
Your car will be loud.
If you want the option of running your car with less noise, then you must get the Valvetronic rear section. But the rear section won't give you power.

Somebody in Ottawa is selling a used set of Weistec headers for $4000 and KW V3 DDC coilovers for $4500.

BLKROKT

You sure? I assume those prices are CDN, and if so the price on the KWs ($3365 USD) is about the same as buying brand new when you figure in the rebate special they have going at the moment.

patrickkc

Yes, the prices are in CDN. I just checked the guy's ad and it also has the Wlan Modu as well. KW website lists the KW DDC ECU coilover at $3909.99 usd and the WLAN Modu at $419.99usd. After conversion and shipping it's probably $6k cad?

Seems like a good deal for OP if that is the case.. unless he wants brand new parts only.

CarHopper

Whatever it is, being in Toronto gives the OP direct access to Eurocharged. If I were him I would go straight to the source and talk to them about getting the car to where he wants it.

I'll be driving up there in the next few weeks for catless DP's, colder plugs, coilpacks, and stg 2 tune on my e63 and can report back here about my experience with them.

arun.6ix

Yeah I'm going to do that. Thanks a lot bro for your help and being kind with your responses.

arun.6ix

I seen his for sale ad for the car. He has a crazy modded c63 that he was asking $85,000 obo. It everything you can think of from Weistec, kw etc. Wish I had the money to buy a second c63. Lol
