I just had my headers installed by James in San Diego. I was reluctant about cutting my cats but after driving and hearing the car it was so worth it!! they definitely make some power and the sound is AMAZING!!

If anyone is debating getting the headers I would go for it. Cory is a solid guy and did exactly what he said. If you are local and what to see or hear my car let me know.

 

I'd love to check it out. Did you tune after? Kleeman has been stepping back in and it is nice to see.

 

I have the Powerchip tune. Cory cleared all the CEL codes for me.

Do I need a new tune?

 

To really get the most from the exhaust you will. You have modded your car, so it is now flowing more air. That changes all the dynamics in the exhaust. Now, you have taken more backpressure out and need to compensate because i would bet your pressure (boost) has dropped. Long tube headers should be good for about 20rwhp, if tuned and that is still conservative. Haven't you also openned up your exhaust? Time to ECU AND exhaust tune.

You got CELs with the powerchip tune?

 

Makes sense. I will have to get my tune updated. I guess Vadim can get that done for me.

No, the CEL's would have come on since my O2 sensor is out with my primary cats. Cory took care of the ECU for me with the header purchase.

 

I was under the impression that the O2 sensors were shut off by the PC tune anyways is all.

I have a datalogger, if you want to borrow it and see how you are doing. I'd look at a few parameters (mostly IATs, throttle position, and timing) to see how you feel about the tune.

 

I will be installing mine friday. Hearing the feedback makes me even more excited to install them.

 

I definitely should have the tune checked out. let me a time that we can meet and get this done.

 

You will not be disappointed.

 

I loaned the datalogger to a friend in Vista, but just haven't gone to get it back. How about a mini meet later this week / early next week? I'm in RB / UTC / Vista daily so let me know. Been wanting to meetup with you and bobgod....

 

do you hear a difference from inside the car I have a s63 and do not want something very load

 

I don't have work Friday so if you guys are up for it I can meet.

 

You do when you get on it. I doubt it will be as bad on an S63 due to more sound deadening material.

 

Friday it is. I'll keep mine clean, too.

 

Your car is a total different animal and my guess is that it will be LOUDER, since the 63 is such higher compression. Just resonator delete puts out a strong growl in the 63s and is barely noticed in the 55ks.

 

lets figure out a time and location.

Anyone else from SD in?

 

I can be pretty open Friday and even to where.


psuball...I'll pm you my #, so worst case we can hook up.

 

PM sent

 

Is this meeting happening this Friday?

 

yes sir

 

looking like noon in UTC. It would be nice to see the CLS55...

 

Wish I could make it, I'll be at work...if you guys want to stop by my shop on Balboa Ave that would be OK!! Maybe I could have my guys do some quick details on your cars after all this rain this week haha!!

 

Friday is good for me too.. Though I can't promise my car will be clean lol.



300 post!!

 

Wait!! You talking about the body shop? Sweet!!I need more than just detail work and was planning to hit you up anyways.
Strong reviews in the SD modding community

 

Though it was a small job, I can testify they do quality work!
