Good luck with that thought!!!!! It won't make any difference if we have 20 or 120, it still won't be a done deal until the BMW side of the buy has more time to do their thing. Helix has the final say in the matter and from a business perspective you can believe the more they sell the better. Sure I want the ups man to ring my door bell tomorrow and hand me the IC (BIG DREAM) or at least before MOTD (may be a little more realistic), but if not then I will just have another mod to look forward to when I return form the Dragon.

Everyone:
We would like to close the group buy by the end of the 21st of this month. If you're on the fence about getting one, now is the time to join. You can put aside part of your tax return and get this as a nice present for yourself

Whoo hoo! This is great news.

It was almost 80 degrees here yesterday so I definitely would have benefitted from a bigger IC.

I'm in

I'm calling in 10 minutes with my deposit.

I don't believe anyone one has asked about having Helix install this at the shop, so I was wondering what that would cost?

Thanks!

Now the waiting begins... ,but I'll try to keep my COOL! (pardon the pun)

Sounds like a perfectly logical thing to do. Start at the front, then work your way back to the end.

What is the part number/source of these items Eddie? Sounds like a good idea.

There are a number of dealers selling the NM pipes (they come up with a Google search) but here is the NM web listings for the 2 parts I have:
http://www.nm-eng.com/nm488855-nm-en...arge-pipe.html

http://www.nm-eng.com/nm488856-nm-en...arge-pipe.html

The JCW intake can be seen here:
http://www.outmotoring.com/mini-coop...n2_intake.html

The way I see it is, if I am taking all of that apart to put in the IC, I might as well change out the pipes and get rid of the Turbo outlet muffler and the sound-maker on the IC outlet. The NM parts seemed nice as they are hard pipes which should not expand underpressure and that should (so I have read) make the turbo more responsive.

OBTY - if you don't have a more open cat-back exhaust, one of those will help too (I like my Invidia, Borla is nice too)

Wait a minute - ClevelandRay - I just check the list to see if you are on it for an IC and didn't see you listed...Are you planning to get one? These other things are nice add-ons, but the real power comes from IC that this group buy is for. Better hurry

There's really only 27, rigt now. It looks like two haven't put their deposit down yet. Still, it's over twenty!

Now I gotta think of other things I can do/add, when it's apart for installing the big intercooler!
