We are going to start shipping exhausts on the 17th of August. If you guys want to start calling and making your orders, we will ship then in the order we receive your info. The exhausts will be done next week but I have to inspect everything and make sure everything is good to go since its our first production run. Those who want me to make my mark on your exhaust, let me know. lol. I can write "Eloy was here" on the tip if you want.

A far price for installation would be between $75 and $120ish. Anymore than that,.........er, rethink.

My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
Default

Can i get added to the list please at the GB price Joe? I'm the guy in Iraq that just ordered the RPI scoop in red with the BMC filter and black grills from you a few days ago.

Also, can someone explain Heat Soaked to me? I mean, if I'm driving my car on a trip, and I'm an hour into it, won't my car be heat soaked and then be loosing power in the upper RPMs with this exhaust? Is heat soaked synonomous with terminal velocity in theory in that everything will reach it at some point. Question is how long to get there?

Again though, please add me to the list and let me know I'm in and I'll send $850 via paypal.

thanks guys!!!
