I just mailed them this evening to follow up. Afterall, "Wednesday of next week" was over 2 weeks ago...WTF!
Remember guys, these headers were ordered back in late November. They said it would be a 6 week wait and it's been over 5 months and they haven't produced anything. Should I ask for my money back and just have some custom made or what? These things aren't cheap.

Good news is it looks like the headers were shipped from SuperSprint NA yesterday and I have a tracking number for a package that weighs 36lbs. Should be here by Tuesday. Hopefully it's a set of stainless steel headers from SuperSprint! I just closed the door to my office and danced a little..

Ends up there were a couple middle-men involved so cutting those out may have helped in my scenario, I dunno. If I were to order SuperSpring parts again, I think I would rather order directly from SuperSprint (they have prices on their website).

I'm very interested to find out how the headers sound and what kind of gains you get of the V8. I just did headers on my m54 and I'm getting quite a bit of rasp, do you know if this will be the case with the V8's?

I haven't done anything yet, I have a increased emission code. I have a O2 simulator that I will be installing, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Right now I'm trying to figure out how I will get rid of the rasp, it sounds like I have some loose metal rattling.

Guess what arrived..finally, after 6 months...
The quality of the headers is good. I might get in there with a grinder and smooth out a couple welds, but aside from that I think they will be an improvement over the OEM exhaust manifolds. Can't wait to get these installed. I'm may install them myself.
In the process of setting up an appointment to get my car baselined again before the installation since I've made some changes since my last dyno run.
Anybody opposed to using header wrap other than the fact that it's ugly?

They look so nice...!
What about the cats?
Are you going to keep the factory on those headers?
Thanks.

I do not understand your question: 'Are you going to keep the factory on those headers?'.
