checj Promini.com, almost half the price. I checked the build quality, it is really better than milltek by far, performance gains, dunno, but should be parallel to the quality.

I have been running this combnation for quite some time, can't quantify any HP gains over stock header, all I can say is car runs great has been running great for 97K miles with this combination, has a deeper sound with the JCW catback than the OEM header did.

I know some people don't care, but I do... It appears that the Supersprint doesn't have a cat, is that true?

Supersprint Metallic Racing Catalytic Converter

High volume metallic cats have been a part of European motorsports for years and are required in many U.S. racing series. Stock ceramic cats are not designed for the high temperatures of racing and the cores actually melt, causing blockage. For racing or driving school events the solution is to install a metallic cat and save the stock ceramic cat for street use.


MSRP $2,013.85 Your Price:$1,006.93
