I flashed my car early. I prefer EcuTeK, as there is logging software over Ecuflash. I have dyno access and can tune my own car.

And I promise you you're wrong on the power deficit. My last X had a full catless turbo back, panel filter, and custom tune and made 40whp and 50wtq less than that BMW with only a piggyback and dual cone intakes. 6 > 4. The BMW had all the stock cats in place and would rip a stock turboed X in half. They have been known to trap 114mph with only a tune and intakes. Show me an X that can do that. To add insult to injury, the Evo is 200 pounds heavier.

Bigger turbo, it will eat the BMW easy, but I don't have the desire or cash to do that. Its gonna be flash + intercooler pipe for awhile.

Sadly, I can't. I've completed it. It literally should take you 20 minutes. Pull out the tweeter cover at the top of the front door, unscrew the carrier, remove the stock tweeter, pull out harness, cut wire at harness, put aftermarket tweeter in carrier, screw carrier in, solder or butt connect the wires to your tweeters (yellow is positive, green is negative), replace cover, done.

In my life? This is #15. I've been driving for 20 years this month. With the 0%, I plan to keep this one awhile.

Missed this one.

No, the aero protects against rock chips. Not the SSS. I did not get Aero this time or last. I don't like it.

I'm all in on mud flaps to protect this paint.

Good for you, the aero kit is a piece of ****. I wish mine didn't come with it.

No, it's the aero kit that is better at protecting against rock chips, sero kit is not part of SSS package.

Only body mod in SSS is the tall rear spoiler.


Welcome back homie
