It will slow down the valves from carbon build up.

If it’s a direct injection engine then the catch can will have some value.

Although I hate FCA, my friend has a track hawk. That super charger makes up for a lot of flaws.

I would pull the trigger on the GCON, I would probably recommend the ICON if it was available in 10" right now but it isn't. You will really enjoy the GCON with the goals you listed. Are you building the enclosure or having it made?

I was surprised when the dealer offered lifetime Powertrain warranty. My mom doesn’t keep vehicles long but she gives them to my dad who drives them into the ground.

Convinced my mother to order an Explorer ST. It should be coming in next week. It’s stupid that an Explorer can get up to $60k.

I have ordered from rock auto for my 335xi and they have been the correct ones so I don’t know why they can’t get your car correct. ECS tuning has a sale going on right now.

I have an extra set if you are looking for some.

I am going to ask a few of my friends that live in that area and I will get back to you. I know there are a some great school districts over there, Walled Lake comes to mind.

Another non audio related note, the early 380s had a single row timing chain that was very problematic. They did not last long before they needed to be service or even worse, breaking. This car was converted to a dual row timing chain by a Mercedes Benz dealership when it was a couple of years old. The dual row is a much better design and can go much longer between service intervals.

I recently purchased a MB SL380 for my wife for her birthday just recently. The previous owner "upgraded" the stock radio but putting in a basic cd player about 10 years ago and decided not to replace the 4" speakers in the dash but rather install some 6X9 in the space behind the rear seats. The plan is to install a new retro sound headunit with bluetooth capabilities, replace the 4" speakers with some upgraded stock replacements, and install a SSA four channel amplifier to power the speakers. In the near future I would like to install a small subwoofer in the trunk for some lows, the 4" speakers are going to provide anything below 100hz. Pictures posted below in the next post, here is a link to the new headunit: https://www.retromanufacturing.com/products/1981-85-mercedes-benz-380-series-hermosa-radio?rq=yr_1981~mk_mercedes-benz~md_380-series&variant=11408386371

Life just gets in the way, I still keep in contact with some friends from this forum. This site deserves more traffic for sure, its easily the best knowledge base for car audio on the internet.
