There's not a lot of info on bagged setups at least in my searching on this forum as I am looking to bag mine soon. Care to throw up some pics of your previously bagged S550?

Here is the old one

So you're my inspiration, LOL! I found your car Googling and have been drooling over it. I absolutely love those Wheels, but I looked up the price and almost had a heart attack LOL. Would you mind sharing pics or describing your internal set up where you had your tank compressor exedra?

 

[NickGoBlue]

Haha well thanks for the appreciation as for the wheels that was the last set that Rotiform made and only 2 ever in the mustang bolt pattern. I sold them not to long ago to a buddy.

Here was my trunk setup nothing special. The compressor was in the spare tire well.

simple and hidden

Trunk install, wheel well

Were you guys running 1/4" or 3/8" lines? NickGoBlue, I assume you were running one compressor?

Hellion, what size are those tanks? And would I be able to use 2 smaller tanks if I only used one compressor? I am looking to put everything in the spare wheel well like you did.

If I am wanting to be able to raise or lower the vehicle in a matter of 5 seconds or so, what size lines would I need to run and would I have to have a 2nd compressor?

Thanks

Picture before the final line runs.....but I think you get the picture. I need to take a final updated pic. 3H system with 3/8" lines and a lot of thought towards sound silencing.

If your want a fast air up and down, 2 compressors is the way to go, tank size = 3 gal x2 I had them run 1/4 air hose and very happy with the speed. If your going to only use one compressor, u should probly go with 3/8 hose. Airing down is a no brainer, it's quick your just venting air, u want fast air up, bigger or adding air tanks cheap, another compressor, more $

Is your whole trunk Rhino Lined?

How fast did your's raise with the 1/4" lines? If I just did one compressor but did 2 three gallon tanks would that be fairly quick?

 

[NickGoBlue]

If you are going to be running two tanks then you will need two compressors.

 

[Hellion]

Tanks hold air in reserve, u can have smaller tanks linked together to have a larger reserve in say a tighter space, compressors fill tanks and air bag systems, u can cross load the multiple air tanks and have 1 compressor. Your just going to make that compressor work harder and longer.

My one compressor puts out more air and is quieter than dual 440 Via pumps. That's why I chose it. Also, I have a flow control valve on the exhaust side so I can slow down the lowering. For the guy that asked......my trunk is not "truck liner", it has a 3M sound dampening coat followed up by a texture paint.
