I finally did it-

Hey burt, I'm going to be remaking the section 1 piece for my car as a straight pipe from prebends myself. I don't normally fab up exhausts though. I'm sure I'll have prebends and pipe left over if you want me to make something for you. I'll do it dirt cheap at actual cost cuz I need practice . I think straight piping it is going to cost me <70 in aluminized steel.

Sure. That would be great. BTW, my shop ordered my header from Florida. I wonder if they got it from your shop? Hey- I am going to send you a PM about another question i you don't mind.

Answered, and no probably from Active as they are in Miami.

Hi All- I thought I would update with a picture of the active autowerke headers before I installed them. The quality is very easy to spot.

What do you anticipate will be the increase in HP with those beauties installed?

[Burt Reynolds]

Probably the same as the others 15-20 whp and tq. I see different numbers all over the place...I doubt it is much different from other headers though.

The front fenders aren't that heavy to begin with. If you want some serious weight saving, take out the engine. That's several hundred pounds of weight loss right there.

LOL yeah right. Face it you'll never modify your MC. You've been crying wolf for way too long.

I said hopefully...and yes...I've been hoping for far too long...and never is an even longer time

Also, they had TCK roof that I could look at side by side and the difference in quality was ubeleivable. Here is that wide body Carbon Z4 they are building that will weigh 2500lbs. Items like the roof and hood are a direct fit for our cars without going for the rest of the body. Oh- this car also is getting the M5 V10!!!!!

LOL, that was my car, well I think this is dead, but I have some parts off the beast for sale.

they are custom made and the price for the panels only is about $xx,000.00, so unless was a big group buy they are too expensive.

Ex. Just the roof is $3k

Too expensive is subjective. I would (obviously to me) expect all the panels to be $XX.000

[imom]

I thought the whole thing was more than $xx,000.00...I thought it was $xxx,000.00. If it was high $xx,000.00, then it really is only for racing applications. If the roof is $3k, then I imagine the hood is a lot more than $3K? BTW, is the CF hood racing pins only or will it fit for stock hood open/close applications?

Not necessarily on the price. Pretty much the exact same labor in involved between the roof and hood despite the size difference. I mold is made and the CF is layed. Really the only extra cost is some extra material. Most of the labor is involved in setup and initial molding which only varies when there is an extreme size difference or shape complexity (multi piece molds and so on)

In other words the roof and hood probably cost about the same in respect to the CF laying. The hood might have some added time due to reinforcement though.
