Same here. I've read this thread from the beginning several times. Just amazing how meticulous the OP is with journaling everything.

Any updates for 2017 so far?

Damn, with all the blood, sweat and tears I can't believe you're parting this out! I hope you're going to get back after it once your situation changes. Good Luck.

Any finished pics of the CAE shifter with trim installed?

Vanne · 05-16-2017, 01:59 AM

The nice thing about the CAE is to leave it exposed.. Its shifter porn.

OMG - I just found this. I didn't know you were back into an M Coupe and doing another build. Loved the first one. Following you on Instagram now.

Great work Chris!!

Are you still running the DKF? I have a Re x-pipe and eisenman cans installed now. I have the DKF section one uninstalled with resonators and both 100,300 converters. Heard it's a pia install. I also have a set of euro headers sitting here next to them. Worth bolting these on?

Yes, still running the DKF.
Installation can be a PIA. Best route IMO is to connect mid section and x-pipe before installing on car

Worth it for the sound and weight savings IMO. I am running the resonated mess. Mellows out drone a bit and adds a nice exhaust tone.

Cheers,
Chris

So are you running stock headers with Dkf mid and resonators with stock o2 locations? Looking for a new eco tune also. Had Powerchip in 2008, ESS in 2009 and BRG in 2010. I think the BRG tune was bogus. Any suggestions? 93 octane and will have Steck headers. Have a set of euros but no balls that I can pull off retwireof cats.

///3dkn · 09-10-2017, 02:55 AM

Just my opinion. Just my opinion.

Ok in my opinion, I was really loving the build up until the wing, new wheels and hood were added. Maybe I'm just a simple man.

Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing build and I applaud you.

I'm just getting a ricey feel now.

Keep up the good work.

I have to ask... any left over unused muffler upgrades you'd part with?... help an M Coupe brother out?

Only stock parts left as extra at the moment.

Thanks, I'm about to pull the trigger on the RPI, any longer term adjustments to your previous opinions?

Also, thanks for documenting your bulkhead delete work! I can get 3 275's a jack, big hammer and toolbox back there now! Best grocery getter ever!

Still the best raw Motorsport sound for our cars IMO.

Also the the loudest and most obnoxious....

I love it
