Additions to my s550!




Figured I would share some of the things I’ve added or plan to add to my 2015 s550.

1. Added the Burmester rotating tweeters. To me it is a marginal change in sound but I got them mainly for the looks. They are super cool and a rather inexpensive modification. (pics attached)

2. I got my resonators remover and had x pipe installed in place of them. Gives the car a nice v8 grumble but not obnoxious or raspy. I think it wakes the s550 up just enough to make t less boring but also still keeping it classy. Even with this modification, this car has so much sound dampening in the cabin you can only really hear the growl of the radio is turned down low. Now, I did do a cold startup and revs in my garage and the sound from the outside is nice. (Vids attached)

3. NOT INSTALLED YET - I am looking to install lowering links to fill the wheel well. The wheel gap is just too much for my taste. I have yet to install because my car was having some sagging issues and didn’t want that impacting the dealers findings. Turns out I just needed airmatic re calibrated and rear strut replaced.

Overal still loving the car and extremely happy with my decision to jump from Audi...just wanted something different!

also had some time to give her a nice bath and for anyone wondering I use Zaino Bros products they are awesome! This is no wax job just a wash and zaino z6.

I don’t see the videos... if you can’t get them to attach perhaps you could upload to YouTube and link them? I’d love to hear your exhaust... it’s something that I’m considering. Also, what x-pipe did you go with?

Love the look of the rotating speakers but just don't expects any sound improvements. These are aftermarket fakes and not actual Burmester speakers. Which doesn't diminish the coolness factor
