Default Ready, Set..... MOD!

Now that I have gotten all of the paperwork, insurance, and tags taken care of, I am about to start ordering some goodies....

I have been browsing the forums for awhile and I keep hearing about "free mods", so I decided that I should use the search button and find out more. All I could find was stuff about the FRA mod...

What other free mods are out there just waiting for me to do to my car? I want to do these first before I start on anything else... I have a '02 WS6 and I think I can remove the EGR... website tutorials would be cool!


Thanks in Advance!!!

A mod that you should look at is the BGRA. It is an awesome mod for WS6's. It would be the first mod that I would do if I got another WS6. This mod makes the WS6 a true Ram Air.
