Thanks in advance. Gf

Member keang24 is selling his RPI headers as well as the full RPI exhaust (sections 1-3). Not sure if he still has it but worth a look. PM him.
Thanks Eurocar, I saw his post (RPI headers: $3800-$4000) thats not in the budget. RD Sport has offer me a new set at $3499 (30% the $4999 list), and I had previously seen some pre-owned Evosports for $2K which is more in my budget. I'll keep looking. Any feedback or suggestion from E60 members is welcome. Gf

Ask EuroCarFan if he wants to sell you his RD Headers. He's been considering the RPi ones as of late.

I think I'm going to keep my headers. Don't think I want to go through the hassle of swapping out everything at this point. I just got new software from Singh Autosport and my car seems like a different beast. Think I'll just enjoy it the way it is and not mess with it anymore....except for maybe getting a differential eventually. hahaha

Curious: are there documented 0-60mph improvements w/the Dinan differential, or is it more of a seat of the pants I can feel it thing
Mechanically, the diff WILL put more torque to the ground. I think one of the reasons people may question the validity or effectiveness of the diff is probably because they've seen videos posted by Darren_Dallas on M5Board. I recall he ran his basically stock car against another M5 that had a diff and he still was a bit faster. I personally chalk that down as an anomaly where Darren may just have an unusually strong car from the factory.
