BigALsM45 wrote:^ CPJ LB, with all the mods (the exhaust and intake) how much horsepower would u say u added? Or how much total are pushing out? Another question, would you say your car sounds more luxury/ sporty like an AMG Benz or does it have more of a muscle car type sound to your exhaust. I'm searching for a clean subtle sound with a beefy punch when pushed. Kind of like the g35s sound.
what up BigAl!!! Long time no hear...how's your ride treat'n you....

well, I've been really busy and besides the tuner shop has been crazy booked, so I haven't gotten the car dyno'd later -- after the Megan install...but will hopefully get it done soon. as far as HP, I'm trying to obtain the mythical 300whp N/A motor

and yet still have a clean, efficient running daily driver...
my car (M35) won't sound like an AMG -- I wish!! My dad had an SL 55 AMG and DAMN!! Love that growl and gurgle...he also did the resonator delete....
My car sounds great at start up -- nice growl, and during cruising it sounds like 'there is more power in there, but not extreme' ...when you step on it, the exhaust note opens up and yes it does sound very sporty.
I think if the M45 guys just get the axle backs and possibly repipe the exhaust tubing from the cats, it'll give a deep, growl yet sporty-luxury sound....
when I step into a V8 -- not sure which car maker-- I'm surely gonna re-do the exhaust...here's an example of what my Benzo buddies are running in their cars -- Eisenmann exhaust -- very well crafted but VERY EXPENSIVE...the search for used system is a hot market...enjoy or shall I say, envy like me over this exhaust....
