My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I doubt it'll be done by Wed. Installation starts Mon but I have to send my ECU back to RDSport for a new reflash so I'm not sure if it'll get back by Wed. Maybe we'll move VT's dinner to Thu and rename that thread "Meet the Beast Dinner" hahaha

Have you and Joe raced yet? It's time to put that "Go Fast MBZ Sled" out of it's misery!
In all seriousness, both cars are retarded and I'm a jealous piker.
If I had new cats installed, what kind of performance gain would I be looking at on my 550?
Thanks.

As for race cats for your car, unfortunately I don't have any info on gains. I know RDSport sells headers and race cats for the 545-550 but their site says 25hp gain from the headers. Not sure if that meant headers AND cats or just headers.

No big deal. There'll be plenty of M5s for me to beat up on in Socal or is that get beat by? 
I do believe that with RDSport you can't just get headers. It's headers and cats. So, the 25hp gain is with both. If RDSport headers alone were available, they would have been on my 545i.
