This small group of highly skilled and talented young chaps can make you, whatever you want.

By the way, the Van Manen Balance Pipes are used to replace the Stock Resonators.

Straight Pipes in place of the Stock Back Boxes is entirely possible, but your neighbours are going to be SCREWING !!!

With healthy Pre Cat o2 sensors in place, all should be well.

Mapping is of course a natural option after fitting higher flow headers like these, and there will be a mapping service available,with an Alpha N option too

. I have been spell bound by the performance gains I have realised so far with Van Manen Headers, and look forward to seeing further gains with remapping.

Prices for the Race Cats and rest of the system have yet to be determined. I am sure they will be happy to discuss your needs in detail though.

Thanks

Kumaran

what are their contact details? sorry this is a really long thread, i'm sure it's in here somewhere!
i'll probably do manifold and cats first.

just ouf of interest, what monitoring kit do you use in your car?
i will be going alphaN but with a supercharger kit...

Just be aware that an excessively loud exhaust is an MOT failure. There is no noise limit set, it is purely down to the testers interpretation.

cheers

Hey Mike,

It was great to meet up with you last night !! So cool to meet people, from another part of the world, through this marvellous forum and share a mutual passion for our M5, not to mention a couple of drinks and Tapas too

Come back soon, you have an open invite

PS : I wasn't giving it the full beans with you in the car, out of respect ..... BUT I did on the way back though, much to the dismay of a 2007 911 Carerra S....ha ha ha ha ha

Cheers
