haha you're very welcome. I was just as skeptical (if you read through my posts very carefully, you'll see that I was reluctant on allowing the butt dyno to speak at all during the evaluation process) in the beginning

Nik from VF has done excellent work on VAG cars but seems to have had less success with e46 M3s. Are you getting the kit with a GIAC tune or the recent in-house VF tune?

Gonna be the in-house VF tune for the grey injectors, and not the orange-striped ones from the E46 M3. Rated M Roadster and I have been in close contact with VF in regards to the tune. Apparently it's pretty solid right now. I'm just trying to find time to get the kit installed, as I'm busy with school at the moment. I hope to have everything installed and ready to go by May 25th, my next track day

Did you ever get results on the dyno with the headers and the AA tune?

Yes, the results are in other thread(s) I've posted. Search for threads that I've started and look for the ones that have "dyno" in the titles.

My max peak output was 310rwhp and 256rwtq.
That was with all bolt-ons + tune.

I have since reinstalled my OEM section 1 due to the unbearable rasp I was having with essentially straight pipes. So I probably lost a bit of power.

But now that my SC install is at 99% completion rate, I should be okay in terms of power output
