yeah. It is great. Did you cut out cats? Mine is a brand new piece that was custom cast and then fabricated. Nonetheless, pretty much a no brainer with our cars. It should be the first mod anyone does. Think about it. BMW Performance Intake is like $750 and barely noticeable in terms of results.

The bends are actually vibrant and the manifold is stainless. The MIG weld on the collector makes it look a little crude but theoretically, it could all be tig welded in the collector, the piping could be mandrel bent and the final product could be polished. It would doll it up.

In the end, it makes power and tq. Thats all I care about.
