I just reached out to Matt to see if we could organize a Powerbuy for this piggyback. I am waiting for his response, but if he agrees why don't we start putting together a list of members to gauge interest. We had one for the DVD in Motion patch and it was fantastic. So, Count me as number 1..
No engine codes or lights. The cables are not too obvious but a dealer would see them very easily.
Did you do the install yourself or if not did you watch it done so you could remove and reinstall yourself if necessary?
I read the instructions at their site but I would have some questions yet.
As they were not too detailed.

After a look at the instructions I decided to let my local mechanic do it. He said it wasn very fiddly. He charged me less than an hour labour.

I've been running it for a few weeks now with no problems. It took my guy a little while to get them installed and tucked away. I agree -- the dealer would find the cables right away but you can't find them in these pics. I haven't had time to dyno but the power is definitely there.
Iceman who did the install and how much did he charge? would it be less if you had to remove and reinstall as he now has it figured out?
Autohaus Frankfurt in Murrieta -- ask for Erik. They are awesome and actually tuned my M4 as well. Not sure I'd trust my cars with anyone else. He charged me one hour of labor for the work and is willing to remove and reinstall before I go in for service. I suspect there will be a minor charge for reinstall since this thing is really more than I care to take on myself -- but that's fair in my opinion. He's also willing to assess any CELs before I make any service visits. Check'em out => http://www.autohausfrankfurt.com

1. CT-AMG
Actually been thinking of this for my next upgrade. Ended up emailing them on Thursday about a few questions. If you hear back let me know. I would jump on a G buy
BGM130: If you don't have an installer, me and jojipoji have one in norwalk, connecticut. He could probably bang all 3 of us out back to back in 3 hours or less. Let me know, maybe we can get a deal on the install if you are willing to take the hour drive from NJ to CT.
I expect to hear back from them tomorrow (Monday) or I will give them a call in the UK
Iceman: We would all love to know what the actual dyne numbers would be (are) on a US vehicle. I would be willing to chip in a couple of bucks towards your dyne testing to know real world results..
Fresno- they actually had 10% off a month or so ago but that code no longer works. I was at checkout and that no working stopped me. But glad it did if this actually works out.
cT- thanks for reaching out to them. Looks like when I emailed them thy are on holiday till tomorrow and will reply on 3/29
As far as install I may end up doing myself. I try and do everything I can unless it involves a lift since I don't have one (yet).
Turns out the guy running this in NJ goes to my tubing shop so I will see what they think of the install. I should be there later this week getting the AWE exhaust installed!!
UPDATE: I have not heard back from them and I tried calling them this morning. They are on vacation until tomorrow so, I will follow up tomorrow with them either via email or phone.
