They told me it did not need to be broken in. I will take it easy for a few days, but not too worried about it. About to go for a cruise now, but I have to head out of town in the morning (they wife is already gone, so I got plenty of time).

 

^lol nice.

 

holy **** *****!

 

Nice dude! Sorry to see you go too, also been around since the maxima days!

 

Ha, indeed! That Austin meet was definitely one of a kind for me... That's when I had the pleasure of watching Josh in his Z sideways through downtown Austin on our way to the meet location... hehe

 

nice purchase !

 

Yup, back in the day. Miss the Maxima/350Z days.... Thanks guys!

 

I've done quite a bit to the S4 at this point, so I figured I would post some pics....











And one of my old wheels:

What all have you done to it besides wheels?

 

ST coilovers, Hotchkis sway bars, SPC front upper control arms, a couple braces, AWE exhaust/downpipes, AWE/APR intake, CF rear diffuser, black optics front grill/diffuser, and several small things.... I am planning on getting a tune, adding a front big brake kit (RS5, Brembo, or AP), and a CF front lip soon. And that's all for a while.... I'll probably change to some different coilovers later down the line.

 

Ohhhh is that all??!??!? Nice ride homie....

I say we stick a Nissan Emblem on the back of his trunk when he's not looking..

 

Hey, do you mind if I check out the AWE exhaust? How loud is it? Do you have the resonated DP or non-resonated? Did you get the track version? I am debating on exhausts...

Looks very nice! Tunes don't seem to add too much to these bad boys, but I have something else in mind

 

You are welcome to take a listen if you would like. My car has the 3.0 S/C engine, so it will sound different than your 4.2 V8 (pretty sure you have an S5?). I have the resonated downpipes. There is no drone on the highway and overall it is not loud, but it does get loud at times and is a tad "boomy" at lower speeds if that makes sense.

The tune on my car will make a pretty big difference (50+ HP) because the stock tune bleeds off a lot of boost on the top end. On the V8, yeah not so much. On the plus side, the V8 sounds bad ***.... I met up with a guy last week that had a S5 with the APR exhaust, but he had electronic cutouts that were open. Holy s@!t it sounded mean. There is no way a S4 would ever sound like it with the 3.0 V6. He also tracks his S5, so he may be a good person for you to talk to at some point (he is "4rings" on NTAG).
