^^^^that's nothing! headers alone up in chitown range from $900-$1100 just headers!!!!

I think that's a spectacular deal considering the headers alone will be time consuming. For the shop to do both, I would jump at that quote immediately. Do you have a header and exhaust sett up in mind? Best of luck!

Ya I'm thinking Sikky/JoeZ. All said and done I think it will be about $3700 which is a LOT more than I really wanted to spend especially with not knowing what's going to happen with my job (government contractor). Maybe I can sell a watch from the collection to take a bit chunk out of that

That's a great price on header+exhaust install. Jump on it!
I love hearing my exhausts so my order (if separate) would be: cat-back, intake (JoeZ pipe or just a filter), headers, then other intakes if you want that sound.
If you're not crazy about exhaust sound: headers, cat-back, intake.

I originally thought I'd be doing all three of those as well.. After getting exhaust I have no desire to do intake or headers. From what I gathered on this forum, intake is pretty useless for power increases, so a couple hundred for looks in the engine bay and a little more sucking noise?
My ISS exhaust makes the car sound sooooo good, I get compliments every time someone is in my car. I wish I got it the first day I got my car. If I wanted it louder I coulda gotten the race ISS exhaust for the same price. Headers are pricey and for the 10% increase in power, I felt it was not necessary anymore. I rarely utilize the full potential of my car (even tho Im at WOT daily haha). So I ruled out headers for now, wheels or aero next for me.

haha I've thought seriously about the muffler/cat delete as well. Basically this just comes down to bragging rights for the most part. I roll with a couple M3s to car events which are both modded and making 400 to the wheels now so a part of me wants to be able to keep up and play, the other part of me thinks its stupid to spend 3k+ just to be able to do that and would rather spend a few hundred for the delete for good sounds, and get a front lip and rear diffuser with some of the money instead.
