I did not get the Mr Bill deal, but those headers are a work of art, and it is also nice knowing you are guarenteed 40rwhp

With those headers, a 82MM and tune, that is an easy 100rwhp No pulley needed thank you!

Did you pick up there mid pipe for free??

Guarenteed! Although everyone of our headers we have tested makes more along the lines of 45-50whp. In our time of building headers we have never had a metal failure. Something I take some pride in. We build our headers to last a lifetime and out last your car.

Pictures don't really do them justice. They must be seen and handled to appreciate the superb craftsmanship that has gone into them.

If I can ever stop admiring them, this is the real reason for taking the big plunge.

No, but it's not really "free." I haven't decided whether it's worth it or not (other than for the easy bolt-on install aspect) for my needs. Seems somewhat costly for mostly straight exhaust tubing, but then I don't have much of an idea what the wholesale pricing is on tubing either. This is still a TBD.

Komp55, Thanks for the kind words. We do our best to make every set of headers the best we can. Trying to pay attention to detail, weld quality and over all craftsman ship.

As for the the free mid section. These headers in the picture are over a year old. The last header we used on an E55 that had Vband clamps was quite some time ago. I know a dealer in Canada that had a set he was sitting on for some time (over a year). As his last customer backed out. We do not have any stocking dealers in the USA (That I know of), but do have some in Japan, Sweden and Germany.

So if someone placed an order with me, That header system comes with a free mid-section, but not previous made header systems. However I am always willing to work with people with older sets of our headers, on getting them a mid-section.

Did you guys ever get any dyno numbers on your mid section vs secondary cats & stock mid section?

Update - Cha-ching. Wallet is now fully drained; am doing a MBH mid-pipe upgrade.
