You're going to regret the test pipes and exhaust combination. It will rasp and drone like a MF, I'm talking with experience.

The rasp is way more then I ever expected but in manhattan the downshift blasts so hard u can hear an echo for blocks and I love it. I had meistershaft exhaust on e55 and that drone was like no other so the drone now doesn't seem too bad. The car is a short 24 month lease and I have 21 left so the exhaust will be fun and I'm going to remove end of next summer.

You should get it supercharged for sure. Someone mentioned the Stillen supercharger. I had considered getting my car supercharged, and Stillen was my first pick, but then I saw how messy it looked under the hood with the Stillen supercharger. I researched some more, and found that the GTM supercharger had a far cleaner look under the hood. Chances are that if I ever did supercharge my car, I would go with the GTM supercharger for that reason alone. It is far more aesthetically pleasing to the eyes (in my opinion).

But chances are good that if I had $7,000 extra to spend, I would save it. But I am boring like that.

Let me make this simple for you. First off choose weather you want a performance car, show car, or a little of both.

Time to break it down:

Performance Car - Stillen Supercharger Kit and an Exhaust Kit (Stillen Kit Contains most of everything you need)

Show Car - Accuair E-Level, Rims/Tires, Camber Kits (Front and Back), Wheel Spacers, Front Diffuser, Window Tint, Rear Diffuser, Maybe some interior stuff

A Little Of Both - Tein Coilovers, Takeda Intake, Greddy TI-C Exhaust, Chipped by a local car dealer, Wheel Spacers, Rear Diffuser, Window Tint
