BACKGROUND
TDA Motorsports is proud to present the initial offering of the Ramm-Technik headers and exhaust to the M5 community. This project started in Oct 2008 and finished in June 2009. The original thread to the project is LINK. I will continue to work all comments regarding the technical questions and comments about my experience with the use of the exhaust system on the original thread. This thread will be dedicated to sales inquiries.
At this time, I'm working on the product page per LINK. There isn't much on it right now. But will soon be updated to compromise and organize much of what's been up on the original thread as well as add more videos and photos.
OFFERING
We are looking to offer the first three units at $8000. This package includes the headers and full exhaust, installation work, and before/after dyno testing. The fabrication and installation work will be done by Aerosim Research's Stephen Ramm. The shop's location is in Costa Mesa, CA. The dyno testing will be done by GTR High Performance's Ricardo Topete. The shop's location is in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. For members who do not yet have headers and exhaust, this may be the package for you!
The headers and exhaust will start production once an order is placed. We will need ~3-4 weeks lead time on the fabrication of this. Once completed, we will schedule a time for dyno at GTR, followed by installation wor, and then a second dyno. This phase should roughly be a week.
The ideal candidate(s) for this project includes someone local (Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, or Riverside County) and flexible scheduling. I am available to meet prospective customers in the area to demonstrate the headers and exhaust system on my M5.

If you have any dyno results you can provide, i'm sure it will spark some more interest.
Without any hard facts, 8K is a lot to invest. Just fyi

No chit, $8 grand with unknown results? I hope the M5 guys are smarter than that, a $100K car is a little expensive to "experiment" with IMHO

The documentation and dyno results are per the link on the M5board.com. This is the original thread to the project started up in Oct 2008. It isn't an experiment as I have the parts installed on my M5 with full on results. What we would like is to provide these to local customers at a VERY reasonable price to monitor our production time per unit and also additional dyno results.

Not a problem. I just need to put aside some time to organize everything into a simple webpage to feature the results/photos/dyno. I wanted to reference the information to the M5 board because it has the running history of this project. This will give new readers the background and history of our work. For those that just want the end result, here's a photo of the dyno comparing baseline to the full setup. Gains were roughly +40 WHP / +30 WTQ.

If you don't mind me asking, what type of dynomometer was used for the dynos?
