WOW that e60 sounds amazing. I’m trying to get my buddy Nicky Black to straight pipe his, with flanges so if it sounds like shit we can just put the stock pipes back on.

god, I cringe every time I hear a stock one at full throttle…

I still think the AA’s are one of the better sounding exhaust, quiet at partial, loud as fuck after 4500… which I almost never reach unless I am being a jack ass… :picard:

god, I really need a diffuser…

Oh and I get sweet after fire… god I am a fucking ricer… just wish I didn’t do this and my car wouldn’t be at a body shop…

lol BORLA!

FULL MIDPIPE!

Actually I really like the way that sounds, needs more intake, but not bad. CSL box would take care of that.

anything CSL is mad overpriced because they’re so difficult to source from what I hear

i ordered that samco intake pipe/BMC drop-in this morning, kind of a superstock setup for the air box that has a good dyno to back it…probably the only performance mod i’ll get with…easy to install as well

CSL box requires use of Alpha N, very hard to find someone local to do that conversion

It doesnt require it, you COULD in theory insert the maf sensor in the tube which goes down to the CSL bumper and retune in accordance with that.

Everyone that I have read about doing it that way bitched about a lot of things, especially since it is not completely sealed… you could do that, but the Alpha N is the correct way to get the most out of it
