It’s going down!

I have a bunch of stuff in the works for my W211 E63:

1.) 3M ceramic tint (20%)
2.) Replacement fog light
3.) Xpel film for fog light/head lights
4.) Replacement fuel pressure sensors (hopefully will eliminate the CEL!)
5.) MBH headers w/ x pipe
6.) stock grill wrapped gloss black
7.) rev matching tune for TCU
8.) Rims refinished and painted anthracite

All of this should be completed over the next month.

Today I tried installing the CF diffuser I got from Gary Lo but the fitment leaves much to be desired. Not sure if I will have a body shop do the work or look for something that fits better.

That's the thing with these aftermarket diffusers; you never know what your going to get fitment wise, especially if it comes out of China, Taiwan or Korea.

Check out the JL Motoring 2-fin diffuser. Great fitment. I also had ordered the Gary Lo diffuser along with his lip, but as you said, the fitment leaves much to be desired. His lip, on the other hand, has perfect fitment. Sent the diffuser back and got this. Had to wait a few weeks as they are made to order, but well worth it and it's a little bit different from the diffusers you usually see on these cars. In my opinion, it looks much more classy and "expensive."

Rev matching tune = throttle blip at down shift. Dime racing offers it for the E63

Eurocharged, dude I love it. Literally not a day went by someone hasnt told me they love the exhaust. After filling up gas, it shoots flames when you rev in neutral. Burbles like crazy over 4K rpm. Literally downshift it’s going to sound like popcorn going off except 10x louder.

Ugh... Just so you guys know, burble tunes aren't great for your car. Was hoping that fad wouldn't make its way over here.

Is that a poor attempt at sarcasm?

Tint, fog light, and fuel pressure sensor arrived yesterday. I'll be installing over the weekend. Still waiting to hear back from MBH on when the headers will arrive

I am curious how this works, you are running a tune so rich you cant burn all the fuel and it atomizes in the exhaust pipe and flames out once it gets enough ? upload a vid - would love to see that !

yea Im going to the keys tonight-Sunday so I can’t record it at night, but I will send recording of the burbles. I put race octane booster after full gas fill up yesterday so it’s not shooting flames, at least I don’t know because I can’t see the tips lol
