...Granted, it's with the cutouts closed, but we have to leave something else to publish later, right?
Yes, this is cross-posted from the Showroom forum, but only for the sake of reaching a larger audience within StanceWorks. Oxer alone isn't enough for this one
For the uninitiated, this is the first project car that put FMU onto the scene in a massive way. This... is Gold Wheels.
It's an E38 740i, that much is obvious. What's not obvious, however, is what's under the hood. We replaced the stock powerplant with a S62 from an E39 M5. And it only gets better from there.
Our current list of mods to this car includes aftermarket cams, and a whole slew of bespoke FMU craftwork: headers, exhaust (including electric switch-operated cutouts that reroute exhaust through side exit tips in the side skirts), catch can, velocity stacks, and alpha-n tune.
It's putting down 385 to the wheels on an unfinished tune on a Dyno Dynamics dyno (meaning it's probably closer to 400 whp). Despite being a 4000-lb car, it moves. I can personally attest to that.
But without further ado, here's Gold Wheels with the cutouts closed (meaning it still routes the exhaust out the back, through mufflers):
