Hey thanks for the quick response =)

Cant wait to get your reviews after your alignment. Im assuming the ride quality is similiar now to my gf's ride. She drives a 328xi coupe. Her suspension is definately stiffer than my G. Not jarring but definately firmer. Im thinking its close to that; in comparison to your description that is.

Her car corners like a dream! I want my G to corner like that. Very flat; very composed.

Yep, thats what I'm hoping for a firm, flat ride that will corner nice and tight. I'm thinking I'm going with the Hotckis or Stillen sways next month. Still reading reviews on both and we'll see. Is your Stillen catback loud? Extremely noticeable? Any hp increase or is it strictly for looks/sound?

SoundMike you are the bomb! Thanks. Soon as the roof spoiler is added and the pollen lightens up I'm taking it in for a nice wax job.

Again, thanks for the photo job!

Go for Hotchkis. Ive heard MUCH better things about it and it has 3 settings!

Stillen exhaust is loud. Makes the G35 coupe sound like a kitten. haha But it sounds nice though.

I dont know about HP gains but I feel I lost some low end torque but I do feel like ive gained in the higher RPM ranges; and I also think it climbs the rpm much quicker. My car now is a top end screamer. Quick to downshift and start revving at 5k rpm. VRROOOMMMM!!!!!!!

search out the threads that I have started. I have a couple of stillen exhaust reviews with videos.

Welcome.

Forget the wax job, get it polished first!
