Got some goodies installed yesterday!

I got the H&R springs and the 22" Ruger Mesh wheels installed yesterday... amazing how much that transformed the look of the car!!
Also the Meisterschaft GTS exhaust will be getting installed soon too.

GMP Performance is the shop that did the installation and did a quick photoshoot of my car yesterday too... so I soon as they send me the pics I will post them here.

Nice congrats, how does the H&R springs feel comfort wise compared to stock? do you feel major difference when changing modes of the shocks?

I thought the with OEM springs and in sport plus was still too soft/bouncy... its only been a day but with the new springs and just in sport the car feels more planted and sporty. the ride quality is great.... you wouldn't know the car is on after market springs unless I told you.

And of course the look of not having that HUGE fender gap is priceless!!..haha

Congrats in the goodies!

Would love to hear how the Meisterschaft exhaust works out. I've been thinking about getting the version w the valves for my PTT.

Your car looks fantastic. Got the same springs installed in my 2013 6 series Gran Coupe coupled with Modulare B18s and slightly wider 20s on the rear. Love the look.

Do you feel any difference with the rear axle back exhaust as compared to it being cat back.

In performance you really don't feel any difference...until you start removing cats... OEM exhaust systems are pretty well designed now days specially by performance car companies like ours...
If you are not removing cats essentially everything you do is for the sound... which was my case.

but then again it takes a lot of power difference for me to notice it... when I had a Supra TT back in the day I removed the cats with a downpipe which gave me an extra 40hp... and I honestly couldn't feel the difference... haha..

But the sound on this Meisterschaft GTS exhaust is amazing on the Panamera.... Im going to try to upload the video to youtube. If that works I will post the link.
