So, all of a sudden he is paying 25% more than the original $2500. Not that it isn't an outstanding price and one I am willing to pay, I just want to be clear since I am a newbie at modding the E55. :bag:

The difference is obvious in my opinion. The car pulls stronger quicker off the line, and from 50 - 100 it will dominate the stock.
Once you do "stage 1" the next step is to help her breathe better (air box, TB, Headers, exhaust... and of course re-tuning).

I was under the impression that headers don't do a whole lot for our cars, am I mistaken? After the VPR pulley/tune, I was thinking airbox and throttle body at most for my car.

I think you probably will get more hp from the tb and air box, but our headers are fairly restrictive from what I understand. I have seen hp number for headers around the 25 - 35 hp mark, although others can comment who actually have headers and don't just wish they had headers.
