More than all of the mods I've done to my car, COMBINED. Definitely one of the more expensive mods, but from every review I've read they are worth every penny!

Got the headers installed at Sonic Motorsports today. Was sad to see the headers get put in and covered up I didn't get a chance to open her up on the way home as my radar detector was getting lit up with Ka band on the way back, but on the streets I could definitely feel more pull on the low end. It was awesome! It is loud tho! LOL If I still had the GT exhaust, I think it would be nuts!

Snapped some shots while it was being put in.

Waiting to be put in.



Section 1 removed.



Spaghetti. Octopus. Snakes.



Stock headers about to come out.



RPI GT Headers in.



Bye bye cats.



Stock headers.



Stock vs RPI.



About to be covered up :crying:



Section 3 wrapped. Sorry, had to shoot something else to stop thinking about my poor headers being hidden away

Congratulations on the installation. Definately a fun modification (I did my 550i a few months ago). Question for ya: what did you do about the downstream O2 sensors?

I have the ESS/RPI Stage 2 tune which turns off the CEL error.

Stock, de-catted with the ability to remount the cats from underneath easily, plus apparently one other subtle change RPI makes that I'm not familiar with.
