My F12 M6 Build

[Eurohorses]

Being that I have a strong tendency to Mod my cars, I thought it would be nice to actually document one of my builds. I just picked up my F12 on May 28th and have ordered OEM Gloss black Front Grills, Gintani Catless Downpipes, and rear Vorsteiner Spoiler. The next round of Mods will be:

KW HAS kit
ADV 20” Wheels
Vorsteiner Front, Side, and Rear Diffuser Pieces
Exhaust (Not sure what kind yet)

For now, here are the quick iPone pics I’ve snapped showing her in stock form.

Keep the F12 goodness coming... we are a bit light in the F12 department as of late. Interested to hear how you like the Gintani when it's all put together.

Dude!!

Very nice .... welcome to the next level of addiction ...

Speaking from experience ... after doing the SuperSprint Catless down pipes ... the Akrapovic Evolution full titanium is a killer!

Did drive with some friends last weekend (Ferrari 360 with F1 exhaust, 2015 911 Turbo, Maserati and a 2014 Cayman S) .... all the guys said hands down the M6 with the Akra was a killer for sound and sound quality!

Hope this helps ... is pricy but amazing

Thanks! Im hoping to get them installed this weekend. I went with Gintani since their catless downpipes have a unique design on their O2 bungs that stop the CEL from coming on. This is all in theory and I will find out soon enough. I'll be going with a tune in any event, and have decided to go with Enzo Performance since they are highly reputable with Tuners and are also local. Link to the tune here:

Always nice to have your tuner local in the event things get quirky.

Akra would be my first pick. Ill keep an eye out for a nice used set since they are soooooo expensinve new. The meisterschaft setup paired with the catless pipes is a bit loud. I had the oppportunity to hear a few last month. They might be okay for the coupe, but it may be too loud for me when the top is down.

I'll be ordering my HAS kit from you in the next week or so.

OEM Performance Grills have arrived

[Eurohorses]

OEM Gloss Black Grills installed. Literally took 20 minutes thanks to the following DIY thread:

Finally got the car back after being fully detailed. Had full paint correction performed and opted to have CQuartz applied to the entire car. Literally looks better than cars on the showroom floor. Couldn't be happier with the results. Its almost like black meatallic glass.

When purchased, I would say the paint was an 8 out of 10. This is my first Black car so the light swirls drove me crazy. Now all I see is Metallic flake everywhere. See pics below:

Also had the spoiler installed.... Getting there slowly but surely ...

Horns have arrived...

That paint correction is simply stunning

Appreciate it! CQuartz is an amazing product and adds that additional layer of protection. When it rains, all I get are water beads over the entire car.... and after a quick spin, all the beads fall right off. I even had it applied to the soft top.

Looking good. Did you self install the spoiler?

I did. It took about 20 mins. Most of that time was applying the double sided tape to the underside of the spoiler. Once that was on, it took another 5 minutes to mount.

Nice -- let us know how your exhaust goes...

Completely forgot to post these pics. Ended up powder coating the tips black a few weeks ago. Exhaust paired with my catless DPs sounds amazing. I'm extremely happy i went with the valved version though. This setup drones quite a bit under 2k/cruising speeds. Close the valves and it eliminates about 50-60% of the drone.

With valves wide open and full throttle, it becomes menacing. Not to mention all the backfiring and burbling between gears.

Has anyone here used dynamat to combat the exhaust drone in the cabin? If so, can i just apply to the underside of the car? I have the Vert so its not as insulated as the GC and the Coupes. I'm not looking to remove the entire interior and dynamat from the inside. Although that may be the best solution, its much too much work. Thoughts?

Have you disconnected the active sound module yet? That will cut down on interior noise substantially.
