More CLA45 track time

Rebellion dp/mp installed in time for this weekends track event.

Performance: didn't notice any degradation of low end grunt, but can def feel a bit of improvement up top. Consistently able to get 135mph on the straight. More if I get bigger ***** to brake later into turn 1. Lol

Lap times improved about 8 seconds from last event. But more so because of improved skill I'd imagine. Pipes def helped the straights speed though.

Sound: throatier, more of and louder crackles than stock. I can't wait to put in an aftermarket exhaust.

Enjoy...


exhaust.

That looks like such a good time. Definitely sounds more throaty than stock and hearing you can feel a performance improvement up to top and no loss in the bottom is huge.
Were you driving in Manual mode the whole time or do you use S for the track? How many miles do you have on the car now?
Great vid and thanks for sharing

Manual, yes. So much more fun that way. I also noticed auto S, shifting would shift too early in some turns or not at the best times to make for a smooth consistent run.

Miles, I'm juuust under 20k I believe.

Good stuff man. Fighting the urge everyday to order the tune and now DP/midpipe. Just feels like I should put a bit more miles on it before going after more power.

Good job, nice video. Did you mount the camera with a suction cup to the top of the bumper or down lower and did you use a tether?

The track is a total blast! I am going back in a week or two.

Thanks for the good post!
