so i did it all in one week. wheels, mtech kit, shadow trim, smoked headlights and taillights, shadow grille and led tag lights. pics should be up soon.
now i wanna do some engine mods, i was thinking of headers, exhaust, pulley, and upgrading ecu. its a 04 525 at, and i want the best possible sounnd, i wanted to do quad, but i think single would have to do, and im sure its not gonna be any different in sound,, or in power but then again i dont know.
what do you guys think and where are some good places to even look, im gonna have pics up by end of this week, after i install brake kit and rotors.
i was also thinking of painting the middle portion of the bumper through the center of the hood through the roof and onto center of trunk matte black, kind of like the gpower, any inputs?

If you have the budget, I recommend going with the Eisenmann Quad Setup. I love the quad output look on the car and it really gives the rear end a more aggressive look. You do have to cut the bumper but it is a direct fit with your factory components. We have it available in the sport or race version depending on how loud you want it as well.

post pic of your car first so we can give you best advice for it but i recommend you to do a quad set up it depends on what exhaust you gonna get in terms of the sound but im sure it would look much better with the quad set up
