A Revo map is generic so isn't tailored to the spec of the car - it's flashed to the ECU and you get what you get. For a more tailored remap you'd have to go to MRC or Unit 20 etc.

Ref Millteks - they've stopped production of the S8 exhaust due to lack of demand. They did offer to check European stock holdings amongst their distributors, so the lack of response either means they forgot, or there aren't any.

When I asked about making another batch, they wanted 8 orders before they would do it due to setting up time for the tooling etc. Might be worth a thread on its own to see if you can generate 8 names?

The receipt for mine shows it was about £1k back in 2010 - I think it's a pretty faithful copy of the factory system in terms of boxes and routing and it's cats back. I think it suits the character of the car well as you can hear it's a V8 but it's no noisier than the standard exhaust on an E39 530 Sport BMW from inside the car.

I imagine Hayward and Scott would do one if your pockets were deep enough - the quality would almost certainly be better than the Milltek option and if a batch were to be made could work out cheaper?
