Hello everyone - this is Andy with TDA Motorsports. The last couple of months have been hectic, we've been hard at work in developing our headers and exhaust system. Early stage photos have been posted on M5 Board, so for those that check both forums, this will serve as an update with new photos.

Current Setup
-stock headers + Ramm-Technik Exhaust

Specs (from headers to tailpipes)
-2.5" to 3" piping to mate headers with the exhaust
-3" piping exhaust
-X-pipe at 45 degrees in and 15 degrees out
-German catalytic converters (optional) made by HJS Tuning with V-bands (one end not complete) to swap in place of straight pipes
-Modified mount to accommodate straight pipes instead of bend path as designed in stock counterpart
[Beyond this point, it is mostly unfinished]
-Tacked welds/taped piping to make sure piping will clear
-Muffler/tailpipe hoisted to assume finished position
-Chrome tailpipe is powder coated black (optional)

-underside / 3" piping exhaust

Once completed, dyno results and sound clip will follow! Shooting for early March.

The headers look great. Looks like true equal length tubing. Any estimates on pricing?

We plan to sell these at $6000-$6500. May start with introductory group offer for the first 3-5 sets. Will finalize pricing once we are ready for production.
