I just installed an Eisenmann racing exhaust on it, I'll post some videos in the E55 forum when I get some.
Let me know when the vids are up. Want to check out the Eisenmann to see how it sounds. thx

Had fun guys. I can't beleive how good we all were!

I was actually suprised with Phil's car's power. He has some grunt. Any mods Phil?

The E55, I have some video of you and the G350. I will have to post pics.

Yin, so sorry we lost you, but glad you made it.

Dude all of your cars looked so awesome in person!

thanks for the caravan drex. following you was definitely fun, had me paranoid for cops but it was fun.
it was great meeting you guys: drex, phil, john, ed. i'm pissed i didn't bring a camera
all your cars were awesome. i guess thats why i got smoked (my newbie initiation). definitely better to see the cars in person. so what did i learn by joining? every little mod will make the car go faster. even door lock pins.

haha! Ed, you should have heard me on the phone with Drex. I was like "dude! I'm getting smoked by Ed's car! It's waaaay faster than mine!"

No mods here, I even took the K&N out a few weeks back and never put it back in...

After following you, it makes me want to go ahead and get the Renntech pulleys!



I wish John took the G35's challenge!

I will, for sure. I'll post them in the E55 forum so you'll probably see. But I'll shoot you a PM just to be sure.

Can't wait to see those!!! And did you leave the meet early?? I saw you meet up with that girl and then you were kinda gone. I didn't get a chance to take pics of your car.

I totally wish I could have too!!! Too much traffic would've made it too dangerous though. Those cars are pretty quick...I'd like to know how I stack up!!

Ok, I'm posting my new sig here first. The two compliments that I got on my car were by far the best things I have heard all month!

Phil & Drex, this doesn't bother you does it?

Don't mind at all, bro. I only state the truth and you could hear the wheel spin everytime you stepped on the accelerator! Really made me want to shell out the cash to get a Kleeman Kit. I don't think the m271 could ever acheive the numbers that have come out on the m111, but at least to have a little 'bit more power would be nice.
