No replies.

So I'm pretty much fed up with AA, they did the same thing to me when I wanted an exhaust. They did try to make it up to me by offering their exhaust to me at a VERY good discount, but I had already bought the Eisenmann.

So I will be going with ESS, the question is when. I want to wait and see for a few months how they hold up, just as standard precautions. I haven't decided whether I want to install the blower now or wait until my warranty on the car is up. I probably won't do the latter.

Yeah, I think that's a smarter move.

Those two things will inspire much more confidence & control when pushing the M to its limits, time and time again.

+1. Do not be behind him going under a bridge going WOT. Your ears will be ringing. I know from first hand experience

Nawaaz · 01-31-2010, 12:00 PM

^ hahahehe

Say Dev, are your gf's ears ok after the time she filmed one of our exhaust vids??

thatarchitect · 01-31-2010, 12:04 PM

Ok guys. Im trying to do my V1 Hardwire and I have read every post I can find on this. I have the CF roof so I read that one. I am 99.9% sure I have found the metal clip. And I am pushing on it. The console will not pop out of the roof. I feel like Im going to break something... Any advice? Anyone else do this!?! HELP!!!

Blake · 01-31-2010, 12:10 PM

fist pump

thatarchitect · 01-31-2010, 12:26 PM

I had to take the entire headliner down basically but I figured it out. I wasnt pushing on the right area (insert dirty joke here). Now Ive got it down and trying to do the wiring on it. Poor lighing + too cold to do it outside = takes a long time.

Blake · 01-31-2010, 12:31 PM

you should have thrown some alcantara while you had the headliner down

Wish I could do the same......I'm always at work.

Looks like I'll have to get out for a drive in the middle of night, and become: THE NIGHT RIDER!
