New Car is Here

Bought it with 12k Miles on the car everything looks great with some a minor dent or 2 here or there. Going to get a full detail done with Opticoat and go from there along with some weathertech mats.

Congrats! looks like a fully loaded Aero. Did you have to go far from the place where you live?

I had it ordered from Texas and I am in maryland, they just drop shipped it, I was a bit nervous but not by much as I know the 2.8t motor and xwd drivetrain very well from my TurboX.

Welcome to a very exclusive club!

Thanks! Does anyone know why Hirsch is not allowing Tuning of 9-4x in the USA?

Just Ordered a K&N Filter for the car, Part# 33-2444

As I understand it, the 9-4X was produced for a long enough time to allow Hirsch to create the specific tune package. I've heard of folks who essentially use the '10 - '11 Hirsch 9-5 Aero tune to 330 hp, but you have to find a service center to do it. It's the same engine, as you know, as what's in the '10-'11 9-5 Aeros and the TurboX.

But that's correct ... no authorized anything Hirsch for the 9-4X in the USA.

[kanundrum]

Hmmm Next question is it still possible ? I mean can a dealership still do it with out hirsch authorizing it ? Has anyone here in the USA done a tune yet?

It was the one listed on autotrader for sale in Houston, right? Ice Pearl. Very nice,
