My Ride: 550i Mpkg
GT3 HEAVILY Modded.. Nearly all track
T-Reg (Wife Mobile)
R8 <- Soon
Finally got around to getting the Mods in on my 550.. I had been throwing a few in hear and there but mainly looking for time to get them done. I did parts of them at home but left the important stuff to the professionals.. First off I'm a huge Fan of CF as you'll see by my choice of Mods and my other cars.. Here is what I did:
- Blacked out Grills w/ CF rings
- CF Roundels (including Steering wheel)
- RPI Scoop & Filter
- SPrint Booster
- CF Rear Diffuser
- Stainless Steel Mandrel Bend Custom Exhaust.. I used all the Magnaflow Mufflers as suggested on other threads.
- Custom CF Exhaust tips.
I'm happy with the out come. The car has a very noticeable amount of power increase and a significant more responsive throttle. The tone is nice but has a bit more low idle (HWY) drone than I care for and not as much high rev noise.. I've yet to hear a drive by of my car to see what she sounds like on the outside. Also my CF tips were not made to as high of quality as I was hoping; thus they've already begun to turn yellow... I'll likely have to look at Stainless Replacements.
Enjoy the pics.. and thanks to all that have posted in the past. If you want more under carriage pictures video etc. Let me know as I have a lift at home and can get it for those that are curious, etc..
