Yes the transmission needs to be dropped but honestly its a fairly simply job... its honestly easier to do the downpipes then it is to do the ECU IMO...

We'll have full product release here shortly but we are already installing and shipping these downpipes as we have another C63S that is having them installed as we speak.

Be very proud of your C63S guys, this weekend in portland I got a chance to race ours against a weistec E63 with turbo upgrades, downpipes and ECU along with handful of other bmw's... lets just say i came home with the AMG/BMW roll race champion trophy

Sounds amazing.

I don't suppose these down pipes have cats for those of us who want to try to stay smog legal :-(

Our current run does not, but they are making them available with sport cats...

You know I love you guys, but ROLL RACING? You can do better than roll racing- that's not even the WWE of motorsports. It's like, like the 4th grade recorder recital of motorsports.

Well you certainly have my attention now. I have two more questions.

1. With the sport cats, will the cats be sufficiently effective so as to avoid the dreaded check engine light?

2. Will the down pipes with the sport cats suffer significant power loss compared to the version without cats?

Thanks

What state are you in Irablumberg? Yes the sport cats will solve the CEL, power will be reduced slightly but not significantly. With the catted version a test pipe will also be provided.

1. I would love to drag my fat a** to watch the TI again, but likely not this year.

2. 234 in a HALF!? That is quick, man- wasn't aware.

Sounds really nice! I assume that was a C63S with a Performance Exhaust? Also, do you have pricing yet?

Just to be clear, I suspect that 234.8 was not in a C63S but rather in an Underground Racing (UGR) twin-turbo Lambo.

I'll admit I was a bit excited initially when I thought you had a C63S doing 234+ in the half, but then I realized it was unlikely this early in the life of this model ;-)

Maybe someday.

C63S yes, but no on the performance exhaust.

Haven't had a chance to get some good video clips of this car out on the street yet. In the closing moments of buttoning up the second car right now, which is fitted with the performance exhaust.

Will have more information and pricing in our official release hopefully by this weekend.
