Some Exhaust Advice Please...
Well i am picking up the E55 today from the paint shop, fixed all the little chips and dings you get in 30,000 miles, and I am taking it to the exhaust guy. The car now has Kleeman K2 (stage 2 for the late person...hahah) with a 80mm tb and a TCU tune from Eurocharged (thanks Jerry). I want to add the upper pulley Jerrys ecu tune, heat exchanger pump.....etc. So that is what the car is now and going to be... Shooting for 10's...
To that end it now has the Kleeman Headers, (some bugered up welds here) no cats, does have resonators, and stock after that....I was thinking of maybe modifing the kleeman headers to have a merge collector (maybe) or just coming off the headers or downpipes there and making it 3" into a really nice X pipe then a set of bullets or XR1's then 3" out to the stock mufflers and modifing the entrance to the stock mufflers so it fits nicely. I heard that the stock mufflers really flow well and help keep the car more elegant when crusing and yet have a pissed off sound when on the throttle. I want to keep this car as quiet as possible yet have good flow as not to loose power. What are peoples thoughts?
There is a lot of knowlegde on here from people that have gone 10's. Looking for some good input.
Thanks guys
