    Decided I was getting sad and depressed by the horrible wet and rainy summer we're having in the UK so I thought I'd cheer myself up and order a couple of bits for my 348:-

    - Hill Engineering billet gauge rings
    - Hill Engineering 25mm rear spacers
    - X-Ost system
    - Decat pipes
    - K&N Filter

    OH Boy I cant wait for that box of goodies to arrive !!!! Have a funny feeling it may just turn my 348 into a very different car..... :D

    sports exhaust with decat, makes the car 100% more intense IMO

    Thats what i'm hoping ! Was a little dissapointed with the noise when I got the car if I'm honest as my V6 FTO GPX actually sounds better though it does have the benefit of a sports exhaust and ITG filter already. Hopefully this will turn my 348 into the car I was expecting ! Will find out in about 10 days time !

    I think you will like it a lot.
    That's the exact same set up that I have, except I am using Hyperflows. Sound is great, inside looks modern, handling is improved.

    Nice upgrade package. I'll end up where Kai is. Hopefully this will keep you busy until the sun returns.

    Cheers guys! I spent a bit of time researching which would be the most effective mods but would be easily removed if I wanted to sell the car in the future.
    Just one thing however, with the new filter and exhaust set up, do I need to get the ECU remapped or will it adapt by itself ?!?!

    Cheers

    ECU is fine unless you want more aggressive fuel/air profiles. Also, you can get the rev limiter increased. Ask No Doubt.
