Hey guys, just wanted to check in and say hello. I found this site after reading a thread over on EA… I think Saki mentioned something about it. Anyway, good to see you all over here and looking forward to following all the cool threads.
BTW, a buddy of mine just picked up an 08 E92 M3 with an RPI exhaust. We’re gonna do some pulls soon to see how the S4 hangs. I know I’ll get raped, but just want to see how she does with the JHM tune against his beast. Updates to come.
Good stuff likewater. Good to see you here. Looking forward to seeing that vid. You can even load vids here in the upload section.
What’s your modlist?
The good news? The 08-09-10 cars are slower than the new ones. I don’t know what bmw did but they took it up a notch.
If he’s a manual, you’ve got a chance. Shift at 6500 rpm and you’ll get the most out of the s4. Run him from a dig or lower speeds. They just fly up top. Love the v8 M3.
Always great to have new members. Im very happy with the site owners that bring me and other Audi or industry specific individuals here, as to assure your getting not just good answers from great members. You are also getting answers from actual Audi and other professional Technicians.
Hey Saki thanks for the welcome. Mod list is as follows:
Custom non res cat-back|OEM Piggies|JHM 91 Tune w/LA|Magnaflow 14851’s|K&N|JHM Intake Elbow Heater Bypass|APR Snub Mount|Deka 21lb Battery|19X8.5 RS4 Reps|Nitto NT05 235/35/19|Drilled/Slotted Rotors|Koni Yellows|H&R Springs|Hotchkis H/Sport Sways
Unfortunately my cat-back is still 2.25 so I’m definitely loosing some there and I won’t be doing anything from a dig sadly since I’ll be daily driving the car again soon and need to preserve my clutch. The plan then is to run him from a roll and see how she does. So you think shifts at 6500 are still best even with the JHM tune? The car pulls really hard so I’m anxious to see how I do. Not sure when we’ll get a chance to do the runs, but I’ll post it up the day we do them.
I also love the V8 M3. The thing is just beastly with the RPI on it.
what’s RPI?
as for your car, good list. My car on piggies was pretty solid. ran 13.2-13.3 pretty easily (with a bunch of shitty 1.9 60 foot times). 2.25" catback sucks but it’s more the shape of the stock exhaust…it’s so bendy snakey…just inefficient as hell. I’d think about snagging a good used catback from someone or even a magnaflow for $700 or something. You should be able to sell the mufflers for $100-200 depending how lucky you get.
You’re probably fkt though lol. It’ll be fun though. I like racing much faster cars to see what the gap really is. It’s interesting.
Welcome likewater! Good to have you here. I agree, good site, good people 
RPI -http://www.raceprecision.com/2009/ - supposed to be good for 28WHP on the E92 M3, but we all know the claims exhaust manufactures make. Who knows, could be different in the BMW world.
As for mine, it was a res-Milltek, but I ripped it apart and rebuilt it (added back in 2.25 and removed resonators) “before” I knew 2.5 and X was the way to go. Oh well, probably not going to change it now since I may actually be selling the car in a few months.
Thanks for the welcome.
yet another glad to have you post. ;D
Sell and then get a ??
Interested to see the video vs the E92 as well
and Welcome likewater!
the most dangerous words in investing are ‘It’s Different This Time’. I’m going to go ahead and assume it’s the same with tuning companies lol.
OH OH…I know this one!

LOL I wish. Decided to keep her after all. Just can’t part with the damn thing…it’s like part of the family. Anyway, I would probably need a GT3 at this point since the odds of a decent run for me just got a little worse.
My buddy just got his ESS ECU tune. Again, I am not part of the BMW world, so for all I know, that tune could be akin to APR/GIAC/UNI etc on a B6/7 S4. In any case, even if it added just 10HP, that doesn’t help my situation.
Not that I expect to win, of course not, this is more a friendly run to see just how much harder an E9X M3 pulls against the S4 with my mods.
We’ll get this done soon. Stay tuned.
that was an inside joke of sorts

Yeah it’s basically what got me banned off EA. That short sentence…or phrase sums up Joey.
The original phrase was: “Sell as mint and get a GT3?”
Ah got it. Interesting read for sure.
