At Solo Motorsports, we service Land Rovers across multiple Atlanta-area locations, and air suspension repair is one of the most common Land Rover jobs that comes through our bays. We service everything from Discovery and Range Rover Sport to the full-size Range Rover, and our technicians have extensive experience diagnosing and repairing air suspension systems on all of these platforms. If your Land Rover is riding low, corner-sagging, or showing suspension warnings on the dashboard, here’s what you need to know.

How Land Rover Air Suspension Works

The air suspension system on Land Rovers like the Range Rover, Discovery, and LR4 uses an onboard air compressor to supply pressurized air to rubber air struts at each corner of the vehicle. A control module monitors height sensors at each wheel and continuously adjusts pressure to maintain the vehicle at the target ride height, whether you’re on the highway at high speed or crawling over a rocky trail.

The system also provides multiple height settings — you can lower the vehicle to ease entry and exit, raise it for off-road clearance, or let the car settle to its standard highway height automatically. This flexibility is a core part of the Land Rover ownership experience, and when it fails, it affects both comfort and capability.

Common Air Suspension Failure Points

Air Spring (Bag) Leaks: The rubber air springs at each corner of the vehicle are the most frequently replaced components in the system. Over time — and often accelerated by heat, age, and road debris — the rubber develops micro-cracks or the air spring’s crimped collar begins to leak. The result is a corner (or multiple corners) that slowly sinks overnight or while parked. If you notice your Land Rover sitting visibly lower in the morning than it did when you parked it the night before, a leaking air spring is the most likely culprit.

Air Compressor Failure: The air compressor works continuously to maintain system pressure, and it’s subject to significant wear — especially if it’s compensating for a slow air spring leak by running constantly. A failed compressor means the system can’t maintain ride height at all, leaving the vehicle sitting on its lowest possible position (known as “bump stop” mode). You’ll typically see a suspension warning on the dashboard before complete compressor failure.

Height Sensor Issues: Each corner of the vehicle has a ride height sensor that feeds data to the control module. When a sensor fails or gets damaged — a common occurrence given how exposed these sensors are to road debris — the system receives incorrect readings and may attempt to compensate inappropriately, causing uneven ride height or triggering fault codes.

Air Lines and Valve Block: Rubber and plastic air lines connect the compressor to the air springs, and the valve block controls the distribution of air to each corner. Both can develop leaks or blockages over time, causing partial system failures that are sometimes harder to diagnose than a straightforward air spring leak.

Atlanta’s Climate and Your Land Rover’s Suspension

Georgia’s hot summers accelerate rubber degradation in air springs and suspension bushings alike. Vehicles that see both highway miles and off-road use (a common Land Rover use case) put more cumulative stress on the system. Atlanta’s urban terrain — with its rail crossings, deteriorating road sections, and frequent construction zones — means constant micro-adjustments from the suspension system that add up over years of use.

We recommend having your Land Rover’s air suspension inspected annually at Solo Motorsports, even if you’re not experiencing obvious symptoms. Catching a developing air spring leak before it causes compressor damage is far less expensive than replacing both.

What to Do When Symptoms Appear

The moment you notice any of the warning signs — a low corner, a suspension warning light, a noticeably rougher ride, or the compressor audibly running for extended periods — bring your Land Rover to Solo Motorsports for a diagnostic. Our technicians use Land Rover-specific diagnostic software to read fault codes, perform live data monitoring of each height sensor, and precisely identify which component has failed before recommending repairs.

We use quality replacement air springs and compressor units and can typically complete most air suspension repairs within one to two days. Don’t delay — a Land Rover running in suspension fault mode puts additional stress on remaining components and reduces safe handling performance.

Q: Is it safe to drive my Land Rover if the air suspension warning light is on?

A: It depends on the severity. If the vehicle is sitting noticeably low on one or more corners, driving should be limited to getting to a repair shop. Operating in reduced suspension mode long-term can damage other components and compromise handling. Contact Solo Motorsports to discuss whether your vehicle is safe to drive before scheduling service.

Q: Can I replace Land Rover air springs with conventional coil springs to avoid future suspension issues?

A: Coil spring conversion kits are available, but we generally advise against them for vehicles intended to be used as Land Rovers typically are. The air suspension is integral to the vehicle’s on-road dynamics and off-road capability, and converting to coils compromises both. A quality air suspension repair is usually the better long-term solution.

Q: How long do replacement Land Rover air springs last?

A: Quality replacement air springs typically last 50,000–100,000 miles or more, depending on driving conditions and vehicle use. Air compressor lifespan varies — if the compressor has been overworked compensating for a slow leak for an extended period, it may need replacement around the same time as the springs.

Q: Does Solo Motorsports service Land Rovers at all Atlanta-area locations?

A: Yes — Land Rover service, including air suspension diagnosis and repair, is available at all Solo Motorsports locations throughout the greater Atlanta area. Call the location most convenient to you to schedule an appointment.

This combination isn’t just a car; it’s a defiant statement, a vibrant nod to BMW M history, and a piece of rolling exclusivity that makes it one of the most special vehicles on the road today.

The Rarity of the G99 M5 Touring

First, let’s establish why the BMW M5 G99 Wagon is rare in its own right. Historically, the M5 Touring has been a fleeting pleasure:

• E34 Generation: Only 891 units were produced.
• E61 Generation (V10): A mere 1,025 units were made.

These low production figures turned the previous M5 Tourings into instant collector’s items. The G99, while expected to be more popular, is still a Touring model; a niche within a high-performance segment.

In a world dominated by SUVs, an M-car wagon is an enthusiast’s choice, a knowing wink to those who appreciate that ultimate blending of practicality, luxury, and supercar-shaming power (717 hp from the M Hybrid V8 system, by the way). This is a heavy-hitting performance car that can haul the kids, the dog, and a week’s worth of luggage at warp speed.

🎨 The Significance of Dakar Yellow

Now, let’s talk about color. While the BMW M5 G99 Wagon is available in a host of factory and Individual shades, Dakar Yellow (color code 337) is where the magic happens.

Dakar Yellow is not just a bright color; it is a heritage color deeply ingrained in the BMW M legend.

• A Blast from the Past: Dakar Yellow rose to fame on the legendary E36 M3. It was the quintessential ’90s M color: bold, aggressive, and impossible to ignore. Choosing Dakar Yellow on a modern M car is a deliberate act of reverence for the golden era of BMW M design.
• The Individual Touch: Dakar Yellow is part of the coveted BMW Individual palette, a selection of unique colors that require a special ordering and approval process. This immediately separates the car from the standard shades. The final production number of G99 M5 Tourings in this specific hue will be minuscule, It’s the only one globally currently; making it a true 1-of-1 car.

💻 The Digital Transformation: ECU and TCU Tuning

The G99 M5 Touring utilizes a highly sophisticated M Hybrid V8 (S68) engine, factory-limited by parameters designed to meet global emissions standards and preserve a conservative factory warranty window. ECU (Engine Control Unit) and TCU (Transmission Control Unit) tuning unlocks the true, aggressive potential of this powerhouse. Unlocked by Femto, and remote tuned; Our custom SMS tune will allow the new mods to bring power to the forefront of this wagon’s brain.

ECU Tuning (Engine Performance)

• Increased Power Output: The factory 717 hp is merely a starting point. ECU remaps strategically increase the boost pressure from the twin-turbochargers, optimize the fuel delivery (air-to-fuel ratio), and advance ignition timing. This typically pushes the S68 engine into the 800+ horsepower range, unleashing substantial gains in both horsepower and torque.
• Sharpened Throttle Response: Factory software can often feel slightly subdued, prioritizing comfort. A tune refines the electronic throttle map, eliminating lag and providing a more immediate, linear, and visceral response to driver input.
• Optimization for Mods: Crucially, a proper ECU tune is necessary to maximize the benefits of the aftermarket downpipes and intakes, ensuring the engine safely capitalizes on the increased airflow and reduced back pressure.

TCU Tuning (Gearbox Performance)

The G99 M5 uses a highly capable ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, but the factory programming is conservative. TCU tuning elevates its performance to match the engine’s new ferocity.

• Faster, Firmer Shifts: The tuning reduces the shift time significantly, providing near-instantaneous gear changes that translate directly into faster acceleration times. The shifts become noticeably more aggressive and direct, especially in Sport+ or manual modes.
• Increased Torque Limits: The factory TCU software imposes torque limits, especially in lower gears, to protect the drivetrain. Since ECU tuning massively increases engine torque, the TCU tune is essential to raise these limits, allowing the full power to be delivered through the gears without intervention.
• Optimized Launch Control: The car’s Launch Control system can be optimized for higher RPM launches and better traction management, allowing the tuned wagon to make the most of its all-wheel-drive system for brutally quick takeoffs.

In short, the tuning is the harmonizer. It takes the added mechanical aggression from the hardware (exhaust, intake) and the sharpened dynamics from the suspension, and ties them together with explosive, seamless power delivery.

The Numbers:

Creating power out of a machine like the M5 takes some fine tuning. Luckily Solo Motorsports now offers Remote tuning. So if you’re reading this from Latvia, don’t worry; we can still tune your car. Below are some Dyno Graphs that show exactly what these mods and our SMS tune are capable of. Keep in mind, this is reliable power… not blow your engine to Mars power. The 93 octane tune saw about 100+ horsepower over stock on our Mustang Dyno.

🚀 Unleashing the Beast: Hardware Upgrades

With the software now optimized, the physical upgrades combine to create a bespoke driving experience.

✨ A Symphony of Exclusivity

The Dakar Yellow G99 M5 Touring, modified with performance hardware and optimized with software tuning, is no longer just a rare factory car; it is a meticulously engineered, personalized masterpiece.

1. Rarity of the Model: It’s an M5 Wagon: the ultimate sleeper.
2. Rarity of the Color: It’s painted in a highly coveted Individual Heritage Color.
3. Personalized Performance: It features a select suite of hardware and ECU/TCU tunes that push its hybrid V8 well into supercar power territory while transforming its sound, stance, and driving dynamics.

This Dakar Yellow M5 Touring is a pure enthusiast’s dream: functional, ferocious, and visually defiant. It is a genuine 1-of-1, a vibrant testament to the owner’s passion for speed, heritage, and uncompromising performance.

🔧 Why You Should Choose Solo Motorsports for Your Modifications

Performance is more than just installing parts; it’s about engineering a cohesive system. Solo Motorsports offers a comprehensive, race-focused approach to modification and tuning, particularly for German performance vehicles.

1. Dyno-Validated Custom Tuning

Simply flashing an off-the-shelf tune won’t unlock the best performance, especially when adding major hardware like downpipes, intakes, or turbos.

• In-House Mustang Dyno: Solo Motorsports utilizes a state-of-the-art, 4WD, load-bearing Mustang Dynamometer for precise tuning. This allows their expert tuners to simulate real-world driving conditions and stress-test the engine map.
• ECU & TCU Optimization: They offer custom dyno tunes for various fuel types (including E85 and race gas). This process meticulously adjusts air-to-fuel ratios, boost curves, and ignition timing to safely maximize power and torque from your specific setup. Furthermore, their expertise extends to TCU (Transmission Control Unit) tuning, which is vital for quick, firm shifts and correctly handling the increased torque from a modified engine.

2. Engineering and Fabrication Expertise

For true high-performance builds, a bolt-on approach isn’t enough.

• Custom Fabrication: Their ability to custom-build parts and perform complex engine swaps (like the S54 Turbo swap into an E30 that won Fastest Four Door) shows a deep understanding of vehicle mechanics far beyond basic service.
• Comprehensive Upgrades: From performance upgrades like turbo/supercharger installs and big brake kits to advanced suspension calibration and corner balancing, Solo ensures every component works in harmony, which is crucial for turning a powerful street car into a capable track machine.

3. Race-to-Road Reliability

Winning a GRIDLIFE Time Attack record requires a car to not only be fast but also to survive under extreme stress. This focus on reliability in a racing context translates directly to the longevity and safety of your modified daily driver.

When you bring your European performance car to Solo Motorsports, you’re not just getting parts installed; you are getting a setup that has been tested, calibrated, and proven in competition. You’re leveraging years of trackside experience to ensure your vehicle delivers maximum power and precision, safely and reliably, whether you’re commuting through Atlanta traffic or hitting the track on the weekend.

One minute you’re hyped about adding more power, and the next minute you’re wondering why your bank account is giving you the silent treatment. But once everything comes together, there’s nothing like the moment your car finally wakes up and says, “Let’s go!” But it can’t wake up with out Tuning those Performance Upgrades.

Take this Mercedes CLS550, for example. From the factory, it’s a luxurious, well-mannered cruiser pushing 402 horsepower. Sounds strong—until you remember it weighs over 4,000 pounds. That’s like asking a bodybuilder to sprint while giving his twin a piggyback ride. Power alone doesn’t tell the story; power-to-weight ratio does. This is why enthusiasts start chasing upgrades: bigger turbos, free-flowing intakes, high-volume fuel systems, exhaust systems that actually breathe, and sometimes even full engine builds with forged internals. (If you go that route, may your wallet rest in peace.)

The Starting Setup

For this CLS550, we kicked things off with a solid foundation of performance upgrades:

• Black Boost Gen 2 Intakes
• Black Boost Wide-Open Thermostat Bypass
• Turbo-back valved exhaust kit
• SMS ECU Stage 2+ Tune
• SMS TCU Stage 2 Tune
• Ghost Motorsports Ghost Link Coilovers

All great upgrades… but here’s the truth:

None of it works the way it should without proper tuning.

You can bolt the biggest turbo in the world onto a car, but without tuning, it’ll run like it’s doing a marathon while chain-smoking. Upgrade your fuel system without ECU calibration, and the engine will breathe like it has seasonal allergies. It won’t be fun, it won’t be fast—just confused.

The Role of Tuning: The Brain Behind the Build

This is where tuning performance upgrades becomes the hero of the story.

Anyone can install performance parts, but making all those parts work together seamlessly? That takes skill. At Solo Motorsports, tuning isn’t just a service—it’s a science and an art. You need someone who’s part engineer, part software developer, and just a tiny bit wizard.

So how does tuning actually work?

A tuner connects specialized software to the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit)—and often the TCU (Transmission Control Unit)—to monitor and adjust how the car behaves.

This is typically done on a dynamometer, AKA:

• A dyno
• A rolling road
• That giant machine that makes your car look like it’s doing cardio

Some DIY tuners attempt this on public roads, which is… let’s just say “memorable.”

What the tuner looks for:

• Air-fuel ratio (AFR)
• Boost levels and turbo efficiency
• Ignition timing
• Engine load and knock detection
• Intake air temps & coolant temps
• Transmission shift timing and torque limits

These measurements show how the engine responds under different conditions. From there, the tuner adjusts the software so the engine makes more power safely, without knocking, overheating, or being pushed beyond its mechanical limits.

When tuning the transmission, shift points are recalibrated for:

• Faster shifts
• Higher torque capacity
• Better power delivery
• Less hesitation
• Stronger, smoother acceleration

Basically, the car stops feeling like it just woke up from a nap and starts feeling like it’s had three shots of espresso.

Why It Matters

Tuning is the difference between:

• A car running a marathon with pneumonia, or
• A car running it with a jetpack strapped to its back

The hardware gives you the potential.

Tuning unleashes it.

When everything works together—fuel, air, timing, boost, and transmission logic—you get a car that’s not just faster, but smoother, more responsive, and far more reliable under power.

And that’s why tuning isn’t optional. It’s essential.

And I mean really fast. It’s the kind of feeling where you think, “Who needs a warranty? Let’s rip out the seats and drop in carbon-fiber buckets right now!” People have been doing this for years. If you talk to your dads American muscle-car buddy, he’ll probably tell you about the time he and his buddies rented a 1967 GT500 Mustang and swapped the engine with one from his own car in a single weekend… Wild right?

Today, car companies sell sports cars that already come packed with upgrades. But even then, new owners still can’t resist smashing their piggy banks to add more mods the second they get the keys.

Take this brand new BMW M2 for example; painted in a soft baby-blue color that looks calm and sweet… just don’t let that fool you. Under the hood is a 3-liter twin-turbo inline-6 engine with 480 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. It’s a two-door coupe that’s half luxury, half monster. With a price tag of about $68,000.

Compare that to the Mercedes SL550, which weighs in around the $115,000 mark. The Mercedes has a big 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 with 449 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. On paper, the two cars are pretty evenly matched. The Mercedes has more torque, but the BMW has more horsepower and a way better price. You could save about $47,000 by picking the BMW – money you could happily spend on upgrades instead of, you know… paying your bills.

If I were shopping for a luxury sports coupe, that would be my exact thought process. And I’m guessing the owner of this baby blue M2 is thinking the same. They chose some smart upgrades that turn this quiet, friendly M2 into the kind of girlfriend your mom definitely won’t approve of.

Over the next week couple of weeks we’ll be installing:

• CTS Cold Air Intake Kit

• Catless Downpipes

• Autotuner Unlock

• Custom SMS Stage 2 ECU Tune

• Custom SMS TCU Tune

These are solid first mods. They’ll wake the car up, give it a louder and meaner exhaust sound, and make the throttle feel snappier. With our custom SMS tunes, the power delivery should feel smoother and more direct. We Dial in all our SMS tunes on the dyno, and the owner gets before-and-after graphs to see the gains. Just like going to the gym each week, this M2 is about to start putting in reps – and it’s going to come out stronger.

Let’s talk numbers first, because they’re kinda ridiculous. The X3M Competition packs a 3.0-Liter Twin-turbo Inline-6 that pumps out 510 Horsepower and 479 ft-lbs of torque. 0-60? 3.8 Seconds. Yeah, that’s faster than most “real” sports cars; and this thing’s an SUV! It’s basically a family car that went to the gym, bulked up, and decided it’s done taking minivans seriously.

Now maybe 510hp sounds like enough… But for some people (you know who you are) enough is never enough. This particular X3M Comp we’re looking at today has some upgrades, and not the kind you find on Amazon. Here’s a list of the goodies:

• Burger Motorsports Intakes
• SMS Downpipes
• SMS Single Midpipe
• Boot Mod 3 Flex Fuel Sensor
• Vargas Turbo Diff Lock
• Custom SMS Tune (via Boot mod 3)
• SMS 2-Piece Forged Wheels

With all that installed, this thing’s not just quick… It’s an absolute monster. We’re talking an extra 180hp over stock. I’ve driven the normal X3 before, and trust me – this upgraded version will have you gripping the steering wheel like you’re hanging on for dear life. Third gear, 60mph, and the X-Drive system hooks in a way that’ll give you whiplash. You’ll be too busy being slammed back into your seat to even finish saying, “Woah!”

I mean; Huracan’s are special to begin with; what makes this one so extra-special? Well to get to that, we’ll have to start at the beginning.

The History:

Sebring, Florida, isn’t known for much – except for its legendary racetrack, the Sebring International Raceway. Built on a decommissioned World War II Army Airfield, the racetrack’s layout was inspired by European Grand Prix circuits. The first 6-hour endurance race was held on New Year’s Eve in 1950, and just over a year later, the first 12-Hour race took place.

For 75 Years, Sebring has been the ultimate test of Endurance. Teams from around the world bring their best cars to battle Florida’s intense heat, unpredictable weather, and the track’s famously rough and bumpy pavement – all in preparation for one of the toughest races on Earth: The 24 Hours of Le Mans in France.

Florida actually hosts two of the most important endurance races in the world. The other one is the 24 Hours of Daytona, held at Daytona International Speedway – The same track that hosts NASCAR’s Daytona 500. The first Daytona endurance race started as a 3-hour event in 1962, but by 1966 had expanded into a full 24-hour race to match Le Mans. That first 24-hour race was won by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby driving a Ford GT40 – Yes, the same win you probably remember from the movie Ford V Ferrari.

The Reason:

Together, the Daytona 24, the 12 Hours of Sebring, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans make up what fans call the Triple Crown of Endurance Racing. Daytona and Sebring kick off the North American Endurance Season while Le Mans stands as the Ultimate Global Challenge. 

Winning any one of these races is an achievement – but winning both Daytona and Sebring in the same year? That’s something truly special. Doing it two years in a row? That’s legend – “wait for it… dary” Legendary! And that’s exactly what Lamborghini did in 2018 and 2019 with their Huracan GT3 EVO, run by Grasser Racing Team (GRT) and Paul Miller Racing.

The Result:

To celebrate that back-to-back “36 hours of Florida” sweep, Lamborghini built something unique: the Huracan Evo GT Celebration. Only 36 cars were made for the North American market – a nod to the total number of hours between the two endurance races.

Each car sported racing-inspired liveries that paid tribute to the GRT green and orange racing livery, with nine different color combinations available so every owner could make theirs one of a kind. The interior carried the same colors, with Alcantara racing seats and contrast stitching that made it feel straight out of the paddock. Under the hood, it packed the naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine, good from the factory for 640hp; and one of the best exhaust notes in the business.

Of course, if you’re reading this blog, you already know that nobody who buys a 1-of-36 Special Edition Lamborghini Huracan leaves it bone stock. So we gave it some upgrades: A VF supercharger, and our custom SMS tune, adding another 30hp over the off-the-shelf tune. During the dyno run, I stood about 20 feet behind the exhaust, and I swear I earned a tan just from the heat waves coming off it. This thing doesn’t just move, it rockets.

Spending a ridiculous amount of money to make it even faster and louder, of course. BMW has always tried to mix speed, style, and luxury – and this new M5 might just be the perfect blend. Sure, BMW has had some plastic disasters in the past (looking at you, E36), but the 2025 G90 M5 is basically the final boss of sporty luxury sedans. When our customer dropped off his shiny new M5, he basically said, “I want to race it Saturday and drive grandma to church Sunday.” Challenge Accepted. Lets check out this SMS Tuned BMW M5

First, The Feel:

The M5’s interior is what happens when luxury and tech have a baby. Fancy Lights? Check. Seats that hug you like your mom? Double Check. Air conditioning that can melt your face or freeze your soul? Oh yeah. Even Aladdin’s magic carpet would be jealous of this ride.

The Mods (aka The Fun Stuff):

Here’s what we added to turn “Pretty Fast” into “Holy Shit!”:

• KW V4 Coilovers – Adjustable suspension for the perfect stance.
• SMS Tune – Because more power is always the answer.
• RK Autowerks Billet Coolant Tank – Keeps things cool and Doesn’t melt like the stock plastic
• RK Autowerks Down Pipes – To eliminate airflow restrictions out the turbos.
• CSF Charge-Air Coolers – Helps the turbos breathe and keeps power consistent.
• Akrapovic Evo Titanium Cat-Back Exhaust with Carbon Tips – Makes it sound like a thunderstorm and lets the air escape faster than your paycheck.
• HRE Wheels

The result?

A car that burbles and pops like an angry jungle cat deciding if you’re lunch.

How It Drives:

Even with around 850-900 horsepower (yes, that’s almost 200 more than stock), this SMS Tuned BMW M5 is smooth and comfy. It’s firm enough to feel fast but soft enough to make you forget how much power is waiting under your right foot. In Comfort mode, it’s chill. In Sport mode, it’s a rocket with leather seats. Driving feels like being The Transporter with a grocery list. It’s both Rolls-Royce calm and GT# RS wild – Depending on your mood.

Final Thoughts:

This M5 proves BMW still owns the “Speed, Style, and Luxury” crown. You can track it on Saturday, take Mom to church Sunday, and scare your neighbors Monday. Basically, it’s the ultimate four door thrill ride – with manners.

Of course you can order it with a military package. Of course.

Are you a wealthy former Blackwater contractor who wants a full-size luxury SUV and wants to survive a zombie apocalypse and the EMP fallout but think the JEEP WRANGLER is way too girly for that off the grid Mad Max life and not enough doomsday? Are you a member of the Three Percenters who fantasizes about running over CLEAN ENERGY protesters and thinks Tucker Carlson’s rhetoric doesn’t go far enough? Do you have $250,000 to spend? Then, boy, is this SMS Tuned Rezvani Tank right for you!

It’s called the TANK, and it looks exactly the way you’d expect any SUV made for the man who would build a homage to the Killdozer if it was legal. And yes, Rezvani offers an armored version for those who think they need it. (please use this thing responsibly, were sick of bailing out clients)

Something tells me most Atlanta buyers will think they need the armored version. After all, ever see the takeovers that happen downtown? Id want some extra protection leaving Lenox Square or Northside Tavern at 4am.

XTREME UTILITY VEHICLE

Okay, so here we get down to the brass ticky tacks. The Tank’s (I’m not all-capping it, sorry, I do that enough) body-on-frame design is the Jeep Wrangler JK’s body-on-frame design, with a new body stuck on top of that frame. And chassis. The 6.4-liter Hemi engine, ah ATL’s favorite engine, But the owner of this one isn’t doing burnouts infront of MB stadium, this one came directly to us to make this thing a speeding ticket magnet with our custom SMSTune

FI EXHAUST FOR THE WIN

Have you ever seen anything more beautiful-er than a Lamborghini Urus..especially one that is STG2-SMSTuned + recently got a

Frequency Intelligent Exhaust

installed

Our client got this delish sounding exhaust a hot minute ago, but when this bad boy shows up at the shop everyone def gives it a double glance!

Why we chose Fi Exhaust:

Fi’s Frequency Intelligent Valvetronic Exhaust System technology offers cutting-edge intelligent ECU exhaust control valve, with an emphasis on the optimization of both acoustics and performance. It is a testament to Fi’s philosophy of the ultimate union of comfort and performance experience for the driver and passengers.

When the valves are fully open for maximum flow and power, it creates an exotic tone and allows for high performance. When the valves are closed, volume is reduced for a more low-profile comfortable drive. With our latest technology, just one click on the remote control will setup any rpm to automatic mode. The automatic mode enables the system to detect the engine RPM to intelligently switch comfort/racing exhaust profiles. Users can also opt to simply switch valve on/off mode as desired by remote control when driving.

Furthermore, the muffler internals are individually designed and fabricated for each car model, a perfect testament of our insistence on producing the best customized products in the market with our Valvetronic technology for ultimate performance. Each product has its own unique sound acoustics and performance, all to add the “extra” in extraordinary.

#StayTuned for the exhaust note clip!
