E Espiz4 Member Sep 27, 2023 #1 I’ve got the mod bug after doing the back box delete. Thoughts on best bang for your buck- Megan racing strut bar vs intake (aem or dynamic). Car is a 2004 2.5 manual.

Mr Tidy Moderator North West Surrey Staff member Site Supporter Sep 27, 2023 #2 I'd go for M-Sport seats if you don't have them already! Not sure if a strut brace will make much difference, but after a back-box delete you may not be able to hear an intake. :lol:

E Espiz4 Member Sep 27, 2023 #3 I like that suggestion - can’t seem to locate any of those near me in the US. You are probably right with the intake being overshadowed by the delete

Mr Tidy Moderator North West Surrey Staff member Site Supporter Sep 27, 2023 #4 I didn't realize where you were. Bits like that are unlikely to be too near in a country that size! My Z4 had after-market back-boxes and I love how it sounds, so have resisted any urge to get a Gruppe M, etc.
