Default Well, I no longer have a FULL SS exhaust

Yupp, I sold two sections (xpipe ans SS Race). This was decided mostly on my need for money for other modds (coils)

Well, also It was LOUD, which I loved, but it just didnt work for me. I come home at night and you get the idea. Also, when im at school the cops are nuts so im sick of having to fear them pullin me over.

But, I will be back at some point most likely with another exhaust set-up, this time quieter. Cats or ar20s in the sec 1, res sec 2. But, lately Ive been loving Dixis so I might go with that. But, thats down the road, for now i wanna get into modding the car with whats needed (coils).

I felt that the only 2 sections that gave me the gains were the Stepped headers and the connecting pipes. I also swear the car FEELS FATSER now with stock section 2 and exhaust b/c of the back preassure. Also, I can now hear the wonderful engine, i kinda missed that.

Do i miss the exhaust? Yea
Do i love having another 2k to do toward other modds? HELL YEA.

No doubt its an amazing exhaust set-up, but for me I shoulda done other things first besides that. Its alot of money "tied up in sound" as Ive read up on here b4. Its amzing but coils will be amazing with the new VOLKs coming in

LMK if you guys have any Q's

MM

Damnnn Mike. That was fast as hell!! lol I think you're going the right direction. Glad to hear you picked up some Volks and going with coils. It'll totally change the look of the m to soooo much more aggressive and meaner. Goodluck with everything man. Hope it all works out!

ATM, im gunna switch my focus to exterior b/c i feel i need to.

Also, my coils NEED to be done during the summer so i can get the right hight with the VOLK. Exhaust can be done any time of the year. THAT affected my decision alot also.

Hows the search goin bro??

yea i didnt even post the for sale thread on here. lol. I didnt wanna deal with all the PMs lol. I found a local guy and he pretty much gace me what I was looking for as the number i needed mentally to sell it, so i took it.

Coils im between KW v2 or TC Kline. Have alwayz wanted KW so i might just buy them. At the same time do all the bushings etc. And be set with the suspension. Cant wait to see how the TE37s look dropped on the TiAg.

Im considering Eurosport design tips as well just to do sumthing temporary. Take the tips and then have them powtercaoted satin blk, like my winter 18s, and it would be sik. I always wanted to try out blk tips. It would match the theme nicely.

Yeah I hear ya man. I feel like you are taking the right approach to it. Going with what you want first and slowly overtime building it all up to exactly where you want it.

Search is going. Trying hard not to look for a little bit. I find one and get my hopes up then something happens. In the mean time, I'm working my ass off so I can get a mint cpo (if possible). Also selling all the mods off my current car right now. Selling the car very soon actually so I'm moving in the right direction!
