Mods/Tire pres.

Hey guys, i have 3 questions, and i dont want to make 3 different threads, so first what tire pressure do u guys keep ur tires at. I also want to do a resonator delete, and i want a clip of a w210 to see how it sounds, because i dotn want it to be too loud. the last thing is, i want to know what mods i can do to my car that would not be too expensive but help, since im keeping thr car at home when i go to college ( the only mod i have right now is a K&N filter, anything else?) Thanx in advance.

K&N is bad news man. My first mod was to actually take the K&N out.

i was thinking about green, but then i would have to order it online, and i got the k&n right by me. but really??? i dont see any probs with it, i mean i can feel a little bit of better response, and the engine sounds a bit deeper. but anyways, ill probably get a green filter when this one gets dirty. but what else can i do, i wanna mod. and what about tire pres.

K&N = Hell for W210. You will be going through MAF's every year. Look my fellow gujarati child, listen to me.

Keep the stock filters, I swtiched back to stock filters on my CLS55 after my Green's were deformed. I havent noticed a different.

Keep the tire pressure at 35psi all around, good traction, and excellent fuel economy.

Listen to this uncle ok.

Here we go again. K&N is fine for anyone and any vehicle when you oil it PROPERLY.

And my MAF is just fine, thanks.
