Hello. I recently got my e55 and i love it however there are some issues im facing.
The person i got my car from had straight piped it, 14 feet of complete ss straight pipe (picture attached) however then he added the stock cats to quiet it down a little. When i pulled the car with the cats on it, it smelled very rich so what i did was pulled them out and straight piped it again. The smell was not as bad however it did not fix the problem (because im stupid). Now i feel like its wayy too loud and am considering putting them back on again. Is that setup okay?
Secondly, when the car starts and gets to the normal idling temperature it ride’s really nice with lots of torque and acceleration but after 2-4 not very hard pulls it just doesn’t want to produce as much torque anymore. It doesn’t even feel like a N/A V8 at that point. I did my research and figured it must be the intercooler pump. Do i change the intercooler pump and the heat exchanger or will the pump be enough?
I swapped my air suspension for the stock strut and spring setup after my front left airmatic gave up a week ago. Ill be programming the new non airmatic suspension in 2 days after i get the back suspension done as well. I feel like its nicer and not as stiff as coilovers as the roads in my country aren’t that great.
