Got a new exhaust put on yesterday (changed from the factory one). Nice and deep, just how I like it.
It seems to have a bit more bite in second especially up hills. Is that all in my imagination or is it really happenin?

Back half was done yesterday. Front half was done a month ago.
Any thoughts on the performance upgrade? Placebo?

Heh, np. What amp you running? My Response amp blew and ended up with a 600W kenwood one. Blaupunkt 6" splits up the front and nothing else in the back.

You would have had a gain in torque and power, but hardly noticeable unless you know your car inside out.
Definitely a mod worth doing though :).

Thats what I thought but its really thick and bulky and suits a large car well without being obnoxious.

A freer flowing exhaust will definetely make a car feel different.

Ah kool. So whats next in line for stock 3l v6? No other mods except 17inch AMG rims on some stupidly expensive kumho tyres.

you quoted yourself?:confused:

You would have picked up maybe half a dozen kilowatts from the muffler upgrade.

Have you done any CAI work, because if not, that should be your next stop.

Cold Air intake... Pod filter, hi flow Panel filter, running a pipe to a lower part of the car, etc.

Not really. Its that awful maroon colour.

Should I take of that tow bar? Does it look exceedingly ugly to you cos it sorta does to me..

Is the performance upgrade significant for CAI mods and worth it for the money?

Yeah it would make it FEEL different, but wouldn't actually BE different.

+1 for placebo effect. You don't feel a couple of kilowatts in the cabin.
