So you finally posted them up, thanks for everything 
Rich and crew did an awesome job on my car with a very tight schedule to work with. Rich put the finishing touches on installing the vr675 package on my car. The exhaust is a custom 3" dual we built at my race shop. Long tube headers in to 2- 300 cell high flow cats into 3" Dr. Gas x-pipe into 2- Spintech GTO mufflers finished off with dual 3.5" tips. It is all tig welded then Jet hot ceramic coated black from front to back. It is very aggresive for sure but it seems normal to me but when you drive what I do every weekend of the year I guess thats a little normal hahaha Goin to the track this wed. for a private rental, will post results soon

The bright side, maybe you don't want to hear the "Nagigator" in the passenger seat! Good excuse, no?

Holy Awesomeness! That thing sounds bad. Cams too?
I say get some mean looking wheels and stance to go with it. You would never think that car sounds the way it does
Loudest E55 I've heard yet

UPDATE!!!!!!!!
I got to make a few passes tonight for the first time. I have never been to the track with my e55 but I have drove about everything there is. 1st pass with 85 degree weather, corrected altitude +4,000ft. was a 11.8 @ 116. Let it cool and adj. the air pressure. At this time it cooled to 78 degrees and corr. altitude was hovering around +3,500ft. 1.72 60 ft., 11.76 @ 118. I think it has a ton more in it, plus I was not in dyno mode- just had the t/c turned off on the dash. I think 11.5's @ 120+ are not out of the question!!!! I will update soon with pics

The best I can figure from NHRA's website for correction factors @ sea level it should be a 11.26 @ 123. Dragtimes shows that to be fairly close with good air and same modifications. Guess I am gonna have to make the trek to MIR in Nov. to shoot for some low 11's high 10's.......maybe even a lil gas Btw, here are a couple quick pics tonight
