BTW, it's been over 2 weeks now on the latest tune and no rev up issues for me thus far. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's gone.

AHAHAHAHA NICE MIGHTY! Yeah I can't wait for mine to be installed. My headers are being shipped to the shop as I write this but I still gotta wait until the 31st. I also have the silver cooler with the Saphire Black. Sometimes I like it, other times I wish my oil cooler was black. All of my friends love the silver cooler though cause they think it's an intercooler. Oh also be prepared for a lot people to come up to you and ask if your M5 is supercharged because of the silver oil cooler.

I still want to see your car though, I need to see those extended tips that you have. I need to see them in person to decide if its the look I want to go for. Man, with all of the changes to your car in such a small time span, you will notice a huge increase in performance. I've had everything RPi except for the headers now for almost 2 years, so getting the headers now will be a nice bump in performance for me.

Javier ran Jed before the headers already so they know each others cars.

Ive seen this happen before. There was a streak of melted duct tape material down the exhaust.
