Diokaef,
If you're planning on fabricating a non-M muffler (Si), I am willing to wait.

Yes we are, but will take some time yet, first we want to see how the z4m community receives this one. if it's a success then it will be sooner.

Last day tomorrow for me to enjoy California weather but the good news is that we nailed 95% of everything I came here to do and things look beautiful.

I should post some pictures of some of the parts that are almost done once I get back home since the files are two havy for the hotel internet upload speed.

Also I will be here for final tests on the 14 of March. and after that I should be in Arizona to finish things up with JetHot and ESS.

I will keep this in secret until I have my headers finished, and I want to run more consistent dyno with a stock car since at the moment I had used only mine what is far from stock as it gets.

I believe SSKe92 will let me use his car for that but any volunteer would be greatly appreciated since I want to do at list 10 consistent runs of the final product. besides some other curiosity runs that I will do with different setups like euro headers and AA headers for example.

I am pretty sure I am going to go with a header back setup of yours. If we can work something out I would be more than happy to get before/after dynos of this setup complete.

My car is 100% stock performance wise as it sits.

Let me know

They will come^^

Summary:

everything is done and I should receive the first article out of production in the middle of March (I will post pictures) after that everything is going to Arizona to JetHot for two types of coating then back to me so I can mount on the final testing car and run some serious time in dyno to make sure that everything matches the previous test, dyno and simulations that were done.

from there I will be able to organize a one time only in history 25 spot GB for whole sale price and only for the luck people that can get in.

after the GB is over everything will be sign off to a dealer and prices will really increase since it will be a exclusive contract.

so be ready.

I also will post pictures of the system once is coated with the final coat and post it in here for you guys.
