You have a hybrid?
What did you do your Q50 today?

2017 3.5 L has to be a hybrid.
Today installed an MBRP 3" exhaust from a Q60 in my Q50. As you can see the previous owner added some resonators. To be able to fit this on the Q50 the tail pipes needed to be extended and a local muffler shop took care of that. I picked this exhaust up for $400.00.

Nice. How does it sound?
It's super quiet on startup and idle. A muffler delete is 3X louder. It starts getting loud around 2800 rpms.
Do you have down pipes yet? If your stock that's why it's quite.

Right. My resonator-less Stillen CB was fine until I added cattless LDPs. Then awful drone @ 2k RPM.
I have HKS resonated lower downpipes.
I have a "1CBBF-1D "Front left Shock absorber circut" error in the Chassis Control Module. So I dropped of my Q at my local shop to check the wiring on my RS-R DDS compatible coilover.
This is the shop that installed the coilovers. Hopefully it's a simple fix.
It's probably had this issue all along, since the CEL dash light doesn't go on with it. I only noticed it when fiddling with my TPMS issue using my EcuTec SW.
I am having them relearn or replace the TPMS on the rear passenger side. They did a relearn a month or so ago but it only lasted a few weeks.
Lastly, I am having them check the preload on my coilovers. I believe they initialy set them on the stiffest end of the spec (over compressed). I also want them to raise the car an inch as it's to low. It may have settled.
I'm not sure they can do it all in one day. If the preload needs to be changed on all 4 corners that is a lot of work. At least I got a loaner.
If that all gets sorted out I'll be a happy camper. I want my Q to be in tip top shape for the Facebook NEQ50/60 group "Cape Cruise" April 24th.

I picked up my Q today. The 1CBBF-1D code was due to low voltage. Probably when my battery died. They cleaned the connection and applied dielectric grease.
Raised my car 1". Now 1" lower than stock and as high as the RS-R coilovers will go.
TPMS problem is due to the front two being the same # so the car gets confused. I will get a new one installed in the front tomorrow or the next day.
Hopefully this fixes my issues long term. I can't believe how much 1" higher feels. Getting in and out is much easier now. I also can now fit my Quick Jacks under my car again. It was to low to get the urethane blocks in before. This will allow me to do tire swaps at home, and to switch brake pads.
My front left Coilover had the spring compressed to much. The other 3 were fine so they made the needed adjustment.
My plates expire the end of the month so I made an appointment to pay my fees and get my new plate sticker tomorrow.
