really want to see the potential.. or hear what modded exhaust sounds like.. new to all this mod stuff and just don't know how to do the exhaust.. the car is too quiet imo stock. especially compared to all the na cars from last gen that I see on YT

I have a resonator delete if you ever want to hear that. I like it a lot. No drone

how much louder is it than stock? and do you worry about any warranty issues / do you know any dealership here that is more mod friendly..

also.. have you driven your car in the icy conditions recently? my wife's corolla isn't handling the ice on the sloped driveway.. and haven't tried driving my e63 in the ice for fear i can't get it back into the garage.. lol but i seriously need to get to work tomorrow.

Exhaust work wont void warranty on anything other than exhaust. I never heard stock but this sounds awesome and I wouldnt want less.

Its pretty good on the roads right now. I mean look, summer tires suck and don't help you stop but I drove to the airport today in the morning. Go test it out

I jumped out of bed yesterday to try it haha

someone is badass lol crazy man. I had a 2011 e350 (but rwd) prior to this running summer tires last march and i spun out from hydroplane and hit the bridge rail on i-90 almost totaling the car. it's like driving on ice in low temps. lots of fun but be careful! , snow vs water tho but still

Get some snow tires and you'll be set. But its already Feb so perhaps next year

I like the AMS exhaust, I plan on getting. Its a direct bolt on (no cutting), you can always go back to OEM.

Minimization

My car slid sideways twice down a street with 2" of snow. I'm going to put winter tires off until next December and just take it easy in the meantime.

I'd like to mod., but Renntech ECU tune is $3,500 and is only 605 hp -> 669 hp gain on 93, they claim. The car was measured at 605 hp stock. Seems about right, everyone knows that 577 hp is a lie. Torque is up 88 lb ft.

Can one get 93 fuel in WA State anywhere??? Why is it impossible to find? Back in MA, 93 was everywhere; you could even get 94 at Sunoco.

damn haha and do we need winter tires here? or you mean all seasons? most of the time we don't get any snow here though. same here.. i've seen mostly 92 as premium gas.. sometimes the highest is 91 i don't get it. i always pump 92 though. btw do you do ECU tune? i want to, but worried about them finding out and warranty?

What tickles me about renntech is they say air filters and a diverter valve will get you 67lb/ft of tq over the tune. I doubt factory filters/diverter is holding back that much torque.

I did resonator delete and it sounds amazing, but it wont be as loud as an NA car just from that. Once the weather is better I can show you how mine sounds like.

I use MB in Lynnwood for service, they aren't very picky with most things. All three dealers in Oregon are Renntech certified so if you get a tune from them, I would just go to them for service since Lynnwood is the most mod friendly dealership but I am not sure what their take is on tunes.
