I’m down; in Catonsville but in dc daily for work. Theres a group that meets in Laurel on Wednesdays

[bryansna]

Howdy, where in Laurel? I am in Clarksville

[ashmostro]

So many MD guys! Were if I lived closer...

[thelenswap]

How about that! There is a following we should def plan something. Unfortunately school is starting back up for us with kids but I am definitely down to get out and meet up. There’s a local meet here in Gaithersburg/Germantown at love my Carwash on Tuesdays. It gets pretty crowded but there is a host of nice cars.

As of now I have the AA downpipes with the Dinan midpipe. Looking for the perfect axle back to complete my full exhaust setup but having a hard time choosing one. I’m going for a sound thats subtly very noticeable but not super loud. Me being curious about your exhaust setup wanted to see if you had a video with a few revs with the valves open and closed to finalize my decision on the eisanmann axle back

[ashmostro]

Sorry I don't have any videos but it is definitely a subtle until you are WOT setup. It's never ever too loud inside the cabin even under WOT, but the tone completely changes from under the radar growl under 90% conditions to muscle car bark when you open the throttle beyond ~65%

If I do a sound clip I'll post it here, but from what you are describing I think the eisenmann would suit your needs.

Bear in mind I keep my valves pegged open all the time. I found out that with the midpipe-backbox pairing there is an undesireable low-RPM drone with valves closed. It goes away completely with open valves.

Caveat: I have factory DP's so your results will be louder than mine for sure. How much louder you can't predict.

Update: upgraded to Dinan springs and bump stop kit, which has much improved the handling over the Eibach's, which I believe were tuned for the 6 cyl car, as the front springs are way too soft for the M550.

For the latter, I think it helps balance out the large negative space behind the wheel well. Was on the fence about it till I tried it out.

could you link the carbon bumper vent trim please looks great
