**fkin christmas lights everywhere... (bahumbug) ... anyway... the head cat delete sounds pretty good. if my girl was riding in the passenger's set, she'd get annoyed by all the noise but that's not her concern. Anyway... i'm looking forward to these ceramic headers... if there's that much of a difference between wrapping the headers in cloth vs ceramic coating, i may just make a [+1} difference in wrapping them cloth too once they're installed.

Thanks for the vid! i know you took time out of your day to do it and i appreciate that.

ya i can tell u this the wrap is like the best investment ive done after a good 45 min of hard driving. You can pop the hood and feel the diff! u can put your hand on the header wrap and its warm! Im gonna get temp read outs from mine and my buddys stock 325 to see how much of a change they did. And you guys are welcome for vids and all im just trying to do stuff on my own befor ditching out $$$$ for the real shit if i can make it on my own!

well... i'm sure any part of your engine thats directly attached to your block is going to be warm... what methods are you planning on going about measuring the heat transferred from the headers back to the engine block?
cuz as i see it, convectional heat is going to be the same no matter what unless the material the headers is [made of] different... wrapping it in cloth is only affecting conventional heat; which isn't affecting the engine bay that much anyway...
The biggest and most purposeful modification is the primary catalytic converter deletion... heat transfer i'm sure is probably only a small portion of horsepower increase

looking foward to the dynos!

Your car sounds good bro.
I applaud you for having the balls to come up with your own exhaust system, removing your primary cats and designing your own intake.

nope befor tune and i used like 2 gallons of gas doing that lol . im going in to mpower tomarrow local shop so they pull bmw codes and send them to AA so they can figure out best way to turn off my rear o2's and figure out why im getting such shitty mpg

i installed spark plug foulers and it worked for 90 miles then bam SES light! so idk even Avtive said that kinda gas millage with header is kinda odd

I got a few questions. Is this mod proven to gain hp/tq?
Do resonator, cat, or muffler deletes guarantee gains?

If so how much? And can someone chime in as to why and provide the proof?

I understand the exhaust is more free flowing etc, but I'd like to see if there is solid proof.

Thanks in advance guys

It's probably pretty close to aftermarket headers w/tune I would think.

There was a thread where a race team chose factory delete over aftermarket. They might actually do better. On a side note has it started to smell?
