Milltek Header for 06 R53S

I searched and couldnt find a post about the Milltek Header so here it goes.

I am interested in the Milltek Header for my 06 R53 S and for those who own one, i have a few questions.

1. Hows the install? Piece of cake?
2. How long you've had it?
3. Did it give any problems IE CELs or O2 sensor problems.
4. If you had it on the Dyno, whats the gain?
5. Is it worth every penny? I mean its $1,195.95 at Outmotoring and that doesnt include shipping and handling.
6. Hows the fitment together with your exhaust and on the motor?

Right now my mods are CAI, Alta 17% Pulley, JIC Magic Full catback exhaust.

Your response will be greatly appreciated!

I've had mine for about three years. Installation was easy with no surprises but it is bolted to a Milltek cat-back. Its a quality part that can be seen in its construction. No codes to-date. Can't speak to its dyno numbers alone as my tune and injectors etc...were done at the same time.
If you can get past the price you'll be happy with the product.
