Installed the fmic , charge pipe and gfb dv+. Car feels fantastic, it was 90F and the car was pulling really well . Throttle response is fantastic but i think thats thanks to the dv and the top pipe .
I would definitely recommend all 3 mods .
Only concern im having right now is the increased flutter when i lift of the throttle. ( I do have a pflo intake) but Dont think its normal , need to recheck the dv but some input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Here is my video of the flutter

Installed a neuspeed catback last night. Sounds great, I was expecting it to be a bit louder but I'm really happy with it. Install wasn't too bad, except for the clamps connecting to the downpipe.
They were so rusted had a hard time getting them off. Wasn't even able to get the front one off, but I managed to hammer the OEM pipe out ha.
I didn't do anything... but a spirited launch off the line produced a "dsg fart" when I shifted to 2nd gear. Freaked me and the bimmer beside me that I laughed my ass off and lost momentum..
Im thinking about getting a roof rack, Really just for looks and occasional use, found one for $250 with alot of attachments and a fairing. Anyone else think roof racks look cool?

Not really they create drag and can lower ur MPG. If the fairing isn't good it'll whistle or make noise. You get a roof rack to use it. Just my 2 cents.

I absolutely love mine!! But the only one I can recommend is the one I have. Whispbar. 95 percent quiet With sunroof opened 85% quiet. By far the best for sound. And IMO best for looks as well. It's closer to the roof giving it a sleeker look and without taking away from functionality . I purchased mine mainly for looks but I end up using it more than I thought. With the load warrior basket. Ohh almost forgot, when Yakima basket on its 10% quiet. So according to my scale I have going, it's Loud AF with sunroof open lol.
Picked up a set of 17 inch Sparco Assetto Gara rims with PSS's on them from a forum member. Installed them yesterday; was a bit skeptical if I'd like the black rims on grey look but I think I'm going to keep them black.
Do lightweight rims tend to increase traction from low gears? I seem to have more grip in 1st and 2nd now. I came from stock 18 inch rims with PSS's on them...right around the same tread depth too.
Also ordered some Depo LED taillights.... finally.
