RD Sport on the way
OK..have to ask...I did a search on the RD exhaust and came up with a $10,000.00 kit:

http://www.gmpperformance.com/index.cfm?PG...&PID=141631

is this what you got? this seems right up there with the cost of a supercharger...and far more for the esthetics than for performance. Did I get the item correct?

first im running the cat back dual exhaust quad tip system. later i will add the headers and cats to complete the system so essentially yes the price will jump up there as you stated but it will be spaced out so i dont take the hit all at once. as far as the supercharger i was reading on this forum that VF Engineering is coming out with one for the 545 4.4 liter V8. once some figures are released i would like to invest in this system. on their site they claim that this setup would now be a contender for the E60 M5. sounds fun to me

M5 bumper just got out of the body shop. just need to take it down to be installed then i can install the exhaust. already bought the headers and now just hoping for a bonus to buy the cats. they also offer a remap to compliment their full system. i will let everyone know if it makes a difference first after the exhaust, then after the full system, and finally the remap.
