I'll do my best.
Of course, 528 decided to spring a leak at thermostat housing and now it's sitting on lift. I'm starting to think these cars have feelings. 528 did get Remus exhaust few years ago so it shouldn't be jealous.

Im positive they have feelings after what my X5 did 2 days ago. The brakes were froze again from the extreme cold and it wouldn't move. I sat out there for almost an hour trying to get the X5 to break free.

Right when I gave up I said out loud "I guess I will have to drive the wifes pacifica to town since my X5 cant even break free from a little ice on the brakes. Im so posting this on the forum."

BAAAAAAAAAM all 4 brakes broke free. I just about went thru the back of the house.

Someone didn't want to shamed :rofl:

About to install them this evening. They are 21 lbs vs 29 lbs OEM.
They were $783. Cyber Monday 50% off the inflated prices.
Schmiedmann sells these for about $1150 - $1200 shipped to US.

I doubt seriously that Schmiedmann would e able to complete the shipping of the SuperSprint exhaust since it would interfere with their US distributor rules I know for a fact this was the case with the Eisenmann exhausts.

You might be right, I don't know.
As test, I loged in and I was able to put it in the cart ant total price was $1280 shipped to US and I all it required was payment.
Also, few years ago, I got Supersprint headers from another distributor in Europe.

Yeah my second eisenmann exhaust that I ordered through smeidmann was refunded due to the agreements that Eisenmann had with their US distributors. Their price with shipping was way better than any US distributor or retailer.
