-Don't rush quality. If you want cheap and fast there are alternatives, but I wouldn't advise it.

Maybe some one here can have the exhaust sent out to them and they do their own before/after dyno.

Im sure someone is willing to pay to make some sort of deal.

At this point I don't think that's out of the question.

still go. it would be interesting to see what the difference of a modified car would be, they might have a selling advantage if performance is better with mods, and it is still improved stock. they might even cut you a deal on the exhaust.

Sorry to let you guys down, but I was the one who called. Wasn't able to do it as I just put headers on my car. If RPI wants to study gains on a modified car, I will have mine down there tomorrow!

have a new Z4M roadster, 1000miles on it. if you want it for testing, just say the word,i can leave it with you. i would want your exhaust in the end anyways.

everyone else stop your whining on cost, my last header system went for a tick under 10K

who was whining on cost?? how could someone whine on 660 for a pair of mufflers for our car, when every one except stromung goes for this price per muffler or even more. I don't see how people are whining.

mpower, just seconding Palantirion wise words, dont rush quality. i'm in the aviation business and our gear takes years to develop, so i can appreciate the effort involved.

as the saying goes: "never let a machine know your in a rush"
