I love the sound of your exhaust , I want the same !!

I was thinking about going smoked DEPO, but I'm not so sure. I like the clear, crisp look. I want to get clear Bimmian solaris turn signal bulbs, so you can't see the amber color in the corner...

They fit so well it was unbelievable....no clearance, fitment, any other issue whatsoever!

They probably are the same....

Looking good man. How are you liking the added power and noise from the headers? My fuel economy seemed to get better with headers since I felt like I could shift more easily at lower RPM.

My fuel economy has gotten WORSE...even though shifting gears earlier is much easier, I find myself stepping on it more often to hear the growl

I also have the euro spec flash, which is supposed to get better gas mileage, but again, I step on it way more often now.

Any rasp or drone?

I think they might just be rebranded? Honestly though Chris, I put these on, they were actually a little bit easier to install then the SS V1's that I dad a couple weeks prior to the SGT ones. I think the only difference was that the SS I did had new E36 studs so that made it more of a pain to get the flanges to go over and then not being able to get the nut on the studs b.c they were too long and the curves of the headers were blocking/leaving little to no room. Its great that both headers were 10X easier to install then other Ebay type headers!

Really? What are you avg'ing? I am about 20.8-21.5 all City with some highway. (my car is getting a new VANOS unit, Fan clutch, and CSB and steering cupler today or tomorrow) but I think these things kill my MPG's a bit.

You can only go so fast before you get off the throttle!

If i accelerate lightly from a stop, no drone. But if i push on it even at say 35%, then i get rasp and a tiny bit of drone between 2 and 2.5K rpm.

BTW, i needa check out the wheels lol

I see. I rasp and drone a lot more now sporadically from 2-3k and it's starting to bother me. Might need to get some resonators in my section 1 eventually.

As for the wheels I should be home later tonight and hopefully this weekend. Shoot me a text any time.

If you stay catless, two Mag10445 resonators in sec1 will get rid of about 90% of the rasp. I cant speak for the drone as my borla drones but not a lot. But I would image the resonators helping a bit with it.

Yeahhh but then I'm running 1000 resonators. Who knows maybe I'll change it up.



Jon the car sounded awesome. Trade exhausts?

I'm getting around 21.5 MPG....before I had anything done i was getting like 25, but then again all i did really was drive it home on the freeway from when i bought it....it didn't stay stock for too long so now I'm stepping on it more

Thanks man! Sure thing, exhaust + wheels and it's a deal!!
