does anyone have a stock exhaust they don't want for a 335 sedan? i just got another, but it has a poorly made exhaust (extremely loud... coming from someone who works on mitsu evos too ) and i want to put a stock one back on i can come pick it up if its in the DFW area.

depending on how loud it is, would you be interested in a swap? can you post a video/sound clip?

It's a pipe constructed from 5 different muffler shops from what I can tell. Essentially the stock muffler was cut out, and replaced with two glasspacks. No cats anywhere either. So very loud! You can have it if you want. I have all the true 3" mandrel bends a resonator and a muffler to construct my own exhaust, just haven't had time to do it yet.

Niceeeee then I don't have to drive all the way to Antik's to get my corner delete!!

Imperator · 05-02-2011, 06:26 PM

Did his cable work on your car? I'm not sure what the range is for 2007 cars that don't need a K-Line cable or adapter.

I haven't been coded by him. Michael (4cefed) coded me before and it worked fine...

Imperator · 05-02-2011, 06:50 PM

Oh good, that means my cable should work without having to solder pins 7 & 8. Give me about a week to practice this then I'll try a few things with your car.

I did my first DE event through the BMW CCA out at MSR last weekend with Joe and Dan and several others. We ran the 1.7 mile circuit, counter-clockwise.

This was my first time ever on a track, and I showed up with my daily driver setup. Unfortunately, my car doesn't have the factory oil cooler.

Track temps on the first day were quite hot, but I only managed to hit limp mode on my last track session toward the very end of the first day - I pulled off with about 2 laps remaining. Otherwise, the car was strong. My Hankooks held up great on the first day, but we had rain on day 2 and I really struggled on the wet.

Anyway, it was a great experience. It definitely won't be my last time on a track. Here are some photos and videos from the weekend. You might notice my GoPro mounted on the front...it gave some wicked views

Here's a highlight vid I put together from some of my runs on Saturday:

Here's a side-by-side video of me and Dan on the only semi-dry session we got on day 2:

PaiNFuLSeDaTiVe · 05-04-2011, 03:48 PM

Pretty awesome man! love the side by side. I take it you had the traction control enabled?

Wookie420 · 05-04-2011, 03:54 PM

I absolutely did, yes!
