That is the second most expense one, Also you guys on the GB will be buying at whole sale price what gets down in some cases to 1000$+ less then retail.

Also we are going with stepped headers that will fit our setup and possibly the SS as well because of flange design also will fit oem but will require a small mod to fit on OEM S-pipe

Very excited now! Things are getting done quickly, also we're going to be featured in a magazine that will be testing this, so be prepared for a change in the way you see the exhaust system for a BMW; after we finish this one we are not going to stop...!

Nice Gio! Glad to hear things are coming along. I'll give you a call tomorrow. Which magazine are you guys going to be featured in? Hopefully eurotuner or BMW Performance then you would really get some attention. I believe 7k for a header back system of this quality is reasonable for the M Coupe. There's plenty of lackluster partial exhaust systems for E9X M3's that charge the same if not more for less quality and components. I'm just freaking excited there's going to be a true system for our cars soon!

We can't at this moment say which magazine but we will when possible and all the details are clear.

That is not the final price, that would be retail price for just one of our systems, we should have a system starting at $4500$ for full setup from headers to mufflers just FIY.

So your cans will be available for sale on their own and will mate to stock?

This is a change from before right?

At list 1 or 2 of them, (this only apply to mufflers since the rest will mate just fine with OEM)

Headers still on process, we will make two types, stepped and non stepped, the stepped headers will not mate with OEM Sec 1.

We will have 4 type mufflers available.

AWESOME! if this is as good as it sounds, it may lead to me selling my RE diablo and AA headers to go with your full system
