Heck, it's already $3500 from cat down

I want to hear Hamann, RDSport, and Dinan exhaust sound back to back.

Rizbel - that is like saying a Honda Civic and an M5 are the same because they are both cars! That config is faking a the reason why one would normally have a quad exhaust - to improve movement of exhaust outflow. It has tuned mufflers to make it sound funky, but thats it. It wont allow it to perform any better because its still really just a single exhaust posing otherwise...

think of it like an modded out 525 with M5 badges....

for looks - this is a GREAT mod, but I dont think this will make a car go perform better - consider it more like the m-tech mod. looks great though!!

That seems to agree with the other statements that the bulk of the cost is in the header and cats. The header shouldn't require such a mod, should it? It couldn't be cost effective anyway. Are there other aftermarket/tuner cats that are more reasonable?
