it's been awhile now and i haven't seen any photos. did you end up doing any of the mods? Lowering springs may wear out your struts/shocks prematurely. so far the only thing i like on your list are the rims.

hey if you're going to get a new exhuast system, get the one "nj500fbc" has (he posted a video) sounds pretty good and it looks better then only 1 exhuast pipe.........and do the air filters add extra power to your car?

If you want a badass exhaust, go for the Eisenmann Race. Otherwise I think your Brabus exhaust is pretty cool, especially considering you have a brabus bodykit.
You know my answer, if you want real power for as cheap as possible, run the laughing gas.
www.speedtuning.com has a chip upgrade for $300 call up and ask for Oliver, he hooked me up and I liked the new ECU program a lot.

I know what worked for me so far has been a high flow exhaust, K&N air filters and the ECU upgrade (I used Speed Tuning USA).
Noticeable difference for me.
I think changing the air filters, that mod by itself, is not a big difference, but add in a few other things like exhaust & ECU and you will feel the difference.
