Btw, any news from your M tech? Anytime soon?

Done. Picking up tomorrow.

Hamann quad exhaust too.

See if they have done it right.

Actually it's done today. But they forgot the rear spoiler. So one more day.

And every chip and dents fixed.

Next I need to vinyl wrap my window shadow line matt.

dyip99 · 07-15-2011, 07:33 AM

Rc, Show Us The Photos !!!!!

M-sport + Hamann

RC3 · 07-15-2011, 07:58 AM

Ok dyip and bros.

Excuse the crapy photos. I got my car back at sunset and it was drizzling. Only had my iphone so bare with me here. I will take better photos when we have better weather and after my shadow line wrapped.

Test drove a little, Hamann quite bass-sy at low rpm. I have to admit it may be a bit noisy for a sedan and I can feel the vibration through the gas paddle. Worried about loosing of low end torque but seems nothing lost. Tried both normal and sport modes. Hamann said there will be a slight HP gain and I don't feel much difference yet.

Funny enough the hesitate and jerk seems like gone at sport mode which I had previously. But now at normal mode it just jerk very mild and no hesitation. Not sure if the ECU needs to adapt to this new exhaust.

Let me drive some more and tell you guys later.

BTW, I asked the shop to touch up two my tiny chips. Very sloppy. I need to re-do myself later.

Need to get a touch up pen, rubbing and polishing compounds.

Thanks pyramid. Definitely can see the only one muffler issue from low perspective. Not too much if I stand up or in a driver's perspective.

Thanks Asiakid. The Hamann & Supersprint are very low tone and not too noisy. Not too MK IMO.

jxnco bro, thanks. I need someone to paddle the gas if I need to shoot a sound clip. Can't let my wife know. :lo: Or use a tripod? Let's meet up and see.

WOW, bro the looking is totally outstanding! AWESOME

I like quad tip the most

Does the diffuser is already tailor made for 4 tips?
Definitely need ECU tuned for not waste your Harmann exhaust,

Now you have the same with most who have jerky at normal?
But glad to hear it can be erased by S/M, so may be you just got another good reason to drive more at S/M

xero200 · 07-15-2011, 10:55 AM

Nice! I have a similar set up and but I have BBS CHR Black Wheels on. I recently installed the Juicebox 3 Stage 1 on the car and it feels like a monster!

dyip99 · 07-15-2011, 11:17 AM

Sexy m-sport, now i want to order my set~

Thanks Jacky bro. You can tell the cut out is for the 550. Sort of trapezoidal.

Need to test more. I think the car needs to adapt the new exhaust.

Cool xero. CHR Black is a classic. Are they 19" or 20"? JB3 is awesome. I am looking into Power Box myself.

Thanks DY bro. Must go for your car.

I found the front sitting a bit high after the swap. Craving for a front lip. Or coilovers....?

That's what I thought with Hamann. I wish the muffler body and its 'down pipe' (also only on the left) coated in black.

Are you sure?? higher than standard bumper?

I'm tempted on coilovers too, especially KW v3 due to its comfort setting feature, but still reluctant for more than 15mm drop. For you I think is a must

. Was being offered at usd2100.

Yup, but can't be too picky. It's actually not that obvious unless you look very closely. Good enough for me.

It's couldn't be higher than the SE. But the M is more aggressive so it's just like screaming for a lip. KWV3 not for now, may be later. Cost around usd2500 here installed.
