A bunch of the local BMW guys have them, and they seem to hold up OK, for the money. Keep in mind, theirs are about $1000 less than a lot of other guys', so looking at it that way I think they're pretty good.

$250 seems crazy low. The rest seems about right.

AP at least in the E46 M3 community, has been known to experience more cracking than other brands. Don't know if that carries over to other AP Header designs or construction methods/materials, but just be aware.

Oh, I am in Los Angeles and only trust one shop for exhaust too. They used to do all the exhaust work for CEC Wheels so they know their stuff.

I guess East coast vs west coast prices?

Got the full exhaust installed a while ago. Headers as well as their valvetronic mufflers. Only issue I had with headers was the fact that the 4 exhaust runners slip on to the collector for each header. I would prefer that they were 100% welded. Another issue is that I think because of this might have an exhaust leak. Not 100% sure. Starting to get a strong exhaust smell when sitting inside car with my window rolled down . Might just be me tho. When I tried to ask AP / Vivid about problem on the form I received no feed back or recommendation and just got ignored . On the plus side...the valued mufflers are a must for cold starts and driving around the neighborhood. When you wanna sound Nascar crazy loud...open the valves and enjoy the sweet sound of this beast!! Been thinking of swaping them out with MBH headers soon. Absolutely zero bad reviews on these headers.
