Mercedes Benz is infamous around these parts

Even with the Sport button activated the car is not loud all the time...
Unpluging the vacume sensor will give you loud (varoom varoom) all the time, but the sport button will still have to be pressed to widen the TC limt.

Thanks, that is prertty much the answer i was looking for. Can the car be in sport mode at all times?

I spoke with Fabspeed before, they said they will have exhaust, cats, headers and airbox for the car very soon.

We have a complete system in the works right now. Should have something available within the next 2 months.

Making power on this car is not easy.

Farbryce is spot on. To make any sort of additional power in these cars requires a change in not only the exhaust, the ECU and induction system needs to be changed as well.

I'm not looking for more power, i just want it loud. Although Fabspeed said there airbox is good for 14HP and its pretty cheap, so i'd get that.

Boys, we have made some major breakthroughs with this car over the last 2 weeks. Surprising power!

We will be back on the dyno today or tomorrow.

Stay tuned.

Today was the first day I got to drive mine all day!

I kinda like having the choice to keep it open or shut. It shuts down everytime you turn the ignition off, which is fine with me, but open (sport mode), it sounds awsome! Just ask Kermit_S

As far as allocation...I think you're late to the party, but keep looking. I orderd mine in June '06 and it was delivered last week.

Im with Cyrus, you have your choice if you want loud or not. I was following Cyrus GT3 this morning and its was freaken bad *** and he was only 3RPM's, sounded clean and mean....Getting GT3 is good enough why you want to fix something that Porsche spends millions to perfect this car.
