headers?
I'm trying to find out which is the best headers to get for the m5...i've only heard of a few that make it.

supersprint, rpi...and who else i'm just wondering if anyone has physical results between the stock headers and these aftermarket ones since they are going for a hefty price i would like to weigh my options before diving in and getting a pair to see if this mod is worth the $:hp ratio. any information would be great

thanks
d

Yank your OEM headers out.. cut off the cats, weld a straight pipe instead and voila! You got power!!

Don't forget to remap your ECU to get rid of that annoying CEL!

Minimum 30! The V10 monster can breath all it wants... but if it doesn't fart it out.. what's the point! And when it does... it does so with a bang!
