Yes I was going to use FireBall coatings in Erin. I've used the UPS store in Lewiston which was pretty quick to get in and out of.

I've used CBI USA a few times and it's been great, but on larger purchases I've still gotten dinged at the border for duty.

Ship to Lewiston and pick them up. That's what I do all the time. I'm hoping to pick up a set of euro headers this spring and do just that. My buddy that has an M3 wants a set of euro headers too. So the trip will be worth our time and money....... and any other mods that may happen to show up......

Looks like there are 8 people committed now. Add me to the count and that will be 9, just one off to make it 10 and the price comes down to $710. I don't know why I'm so exited about $10. Anyone else going to jump on this?

Some time spent on the forums tells me this is a good choice, but wondering if the $10 are worth a couple mins of your time to comment on why you choose these over others? Also, I've never heard of this tuning shop before. Is their tune reputable and/or tested by fellow owners? Thanks! |

^^E46 community has much experience with TTFS, particularly his custom-tuning wizardry. I assume the tune that's available in the GB is their off-the-shelf tune, and that the custom remote-logging tune is still big bucks. I hope I'm wrong because $500 for the custom tune would be a smokin deal

I know that the tunes take care of the CEL, but how do headers affect emissions inspections? Assuming you use ESS for the ability to switch back and forth from stock? |

I personally classify headers into 4 categories;
It's assumed that for all of these headers you'll need to move the secondary sensors to a new location somewhere on section 1 or use a Euro catted section one. Also, just my own personal opinion but I put a higher grade level on T304 Stainless steel made in the USA vs China and I assume that all USA made headers use USA made steel.
There are other manufacturers like Acency power, Macht Schell, AFE, etc In my opinion ST is a good bang for you buck, though, if Fabspeed sold their headers at the same price I'd go Fabspeed. But for me the paired tune for $500 is like a icing on a cake. Hope that helps some what.

You already have the Euro headers, the gains to aftermarket would be minimal.
You will get more by just doing a tune on your car.

Anyone thinking headers should be all over this GB.

Cyclops, thanks for taking the time for that write up! I agree with you on the quality specs, and seems like this might be a great value GB since I simply can't justify the pricing of Supersprint no matter good they may be.
Only thing I don't understand is - Since a catted section 1 is required, why not use the stock US Section 1? Is that because it's only a secondary cat? Does the Status Gruppe 200 cell section 1 fit this purpose (It's also part of the GB as an accessory)? |

OK so I just talked to Mike at Status Gruppe and I have a correction about the tune. The TTFS tune that they are offering for $500 is only for the E46 M3, apparently the Z4M uses a different ECU and is more similar to the the e90 platform then the E46. So they can do a tune for the Z4M but its $700. Well that kind of bust my bubble on the tune side of things. I think I'll only get the headers at this point and look into an Epic tune afterwards.

As for the tune I just checked TTFS website and they list that tune for $695, I'm going to see if we can get some kind of discount as he quoted us list price.
