Wait until I get my RPI set up and see what happens to me....If my wife kills me, Calton can have my headers.
I'm sure she'll sell them to him CHEAP!
LOL!

Hmmm.... Seems to be a slight favouritism towards RPI on here!!

I have to admit, i listened to Calton's video, and DANG that thing sounds rude!! Looking good with the winter wheels back on there too Calton. I'll have a think about it. How much is the RPI 1 2 and 3??

Retail is a bit over $3K for all 3 sections. http://shoprpi.com/index.php?cPath=21_22_26_37

Buy all three sections at once = $2789. This setup comprises ST Section 1 (High flow cats), GT Section 2 (hybrid X/H pipe) and GT Section 3 (mufflers). If you are to substitute with GT Section 1 (straight pipes) the price will be less $175.

It's too bad everyone doesn't live as close to RPI as some of us do. Joe and Eloy arranged to have RabDog and Gabriel met me at RPI so I could listen and drive the two slightly differently RPI modded cars. If any of you got a chance to even ride in Sorab's Full RPI Powered M5, you wouldn't buy ANYTHING else; how else are you going to get to 600 HP / 500+ RWHP without supercharging or NOS (both of which are hella expensive)? I saw Joe (Trinity Autosports) right after he came back from his ride w/ Rab...you"ll have to ask him about the experience!! The sound is great, the prices are reasonable and the HP gains are proven. Talk about an E Ticket ride.....

The shop is clean, and professional and all of RPIs employees are accomodating and helpful. The service and installation is top notch and they stand behind their products and services like no other. Take it from their loyal customers, the majority of us did something wrong with our first mods. Most of us actually had our exhaust and intake "system" combinations costing us HP (AFE, Meisterschaft, K&N, etc, etc)!!!! RPI can fix those issues with their innovative and more importantly, PROVEN AND DOCUMENTED solutions.
RPI has amazing, proven products; great service and follow up and a staff that all work toward your satisfaction.....isn't that why you bought a BMW in the first place?

I'm shipping out my ECU to Eloy in the last week of January when I'm on vacation with the wife. Upon my return, we'll see how much faster and stronger the car is then. The one thing about doing the headers though, is that I am pretty much going to have to buy my car out at the end of the lease. With the amount of money I'll have put into this car, it would be ludicrous to turn it back in.

Someone here will buy it out if you don't !!!! There is always someone looking to upgrade and with all the mods.....what an easy way to get into a say...600HP super sedan at that price.
