Impressive!! Your car looks great. That is a very sharp, strong and classy look. The combination of your car and the cool photography reminds me of the professional tuner launch shots of their new packages for a new model, like a Brabus or Lorinser - your overall look came out that well in my humble opinion.

As someone who doesn't normally modify my cars, I am really enjoying living the changes vicariously through you . . .

Can't wait to see (and hear) more!!!

Vic,

Have you done the exhaust mod. If so where were the custom exhaust mods needed?

I have only done the resonator delete. There are multiple ways to do the exhaust:

Resonators removed only
Post Cats and resonators removed
LT Headers which take out the pre and post cats with or without hi flow resonators.
New mufflers with one or multiple options from above
etc...

Im either going to do the Evosport Race Mid section which eliminates the post cat or the full LT headers and add back in high flow resonators. The LTs are price though!!!!!! I know our mufflers are quite good.

Not sure you will get to that level... louder is always, louder IMHO. But experienced shops like Evo can custom make you a great sounding beast and minimize drone.

Ive driven the car about 200 miles since lowered and will do the alignment on Thursday. I just always wait for the springs to settle and the rear to adjust via the airmatic.

The drop was about 1.25-1.30 inches.

Thx for the info! I'm starting my project. Ordering the springs, painting my side markers black, changing hood emblem, (tints done), deciding on wheels. We will have very similar cars except mine is black

New Jersey.

I called H&R and they are telling me they haven't made the e63 springs. They also said the E350 springs might not support the weight. Need a little support here?
