No, I just want to make sure the GB goes through and I get my headers. 
I don't think they so much missed the boat as they probably negotiated lower production costs from SS, but only so long as they're GB didn't directly compete.

This unfortunately
The SS deal was superb, and means we're really comparing $2K to $3.5K as shown - I don't consider de-cats a viable option.

They decided they would do a stock cat production run if at least 5 people wanted those, which we have already met. See the actual GB thread. $2500 vs. $2000 is pretty damn reasonable I think.
Not to bicker, but it remains unclear if there will be an additional cost for the stock cat option, correct?

I don't think so... That's probably why they wanted a minimum 5 people on that option. An extra charge for stock cat fitment would kind of defeat the purpose since you could just buy the Evolve cat version and pay your exhaust guy $300 to fab connecting pipes.

They already said that they are going to fab STOCK CAT headers if they had five confirmed orders, so that part is a go already.
IMO the biggest issue is that evolve has been pretty hands off with answering questions like this, in the thread ??
Hope we make it to ten, as to me with the stock cat option these are the better deal IMO. But money is money, and so is timing. the SS GB was near 35+ confirmed buys, not sure there are enough e39 buyers left.
If it was my company, I'd open it up for all M5 models, offer a split down payment option ($500 up front), final payment due on ship date, and drop ship them so US buyers don't have duty costs (okay I'm just being selfish now☺).
The payment terms, whatever Evolve decides needs to be better laid out, for the on the fence buyer to decide. This is a lot of money , I'd recon it would lively up interest a tad more.

The price will be the same for either cat or stock cat option.
Otherwise we would have listed an extra price for this option.

Guys.
Group buy will end on April 15th.
If you want a set of headers, now it is time to put your name on the list in the group buy thread

Well said.
We do need to be here and discussing.
So, payment options on group buys have now changed. We take a small deposit which is usually close to $200.
The final payment is taken just before delivery.
The headers have two types of down pipe sets:
The ones on the left are for welding to stock CAT's and the ones on the right are for connecting to high flow CAT's from us.
We stopped selling the stock CAT downpipes some time back because the majority of people only wanted a DeCAT or wanted to use the headers with either our high flow cats or ones they have made themselves.
Many people also had the down pipes modified to fit their stock CAT's.
It is important to understand that even connecting these to the stock CAT's requires welding due to the common knowledge of the exhaust being one piece.
Due to the lack of demand of the stock CAT down pipe we ask for a minimum of 5 orders.
Thanks for the clarification.
I run decat anyway, just making sure others who have PM'd me know the total cost involved.

Two more questions
On the basis that a tune is ideally required to get the most out of this, how much are we looking at for the manifolds & tune with the 10% discount?
Are you also able to carry out the cutting & welding for an additional fee if I van my exhaust down to your workshop?

we can most certainly fit the system for you.
Tuning really does maximise the headers (all good types).
Total cost to you would be £2300 inc VAT.
Only problem… no RHD headers available for few months. In production but scheduled after all of the LHD headers.

I don't mind waiting. Shall I join the GB and pay the deposit as everyone else?
I assume fitting isn't included in the £2300. I'm ok to fit it - I just can't weld.

I'm certain you can easily unload the SS as there have been several people who have posted regret missing the Group Buy. Post in the general forum and you will get bites. Better hurry before others get smart, too.
