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?
There's a common misconception on this forum. Unit 20 won't tailor make a map. They're agents for Revo amongst other tuners. Not to take anything away from Grizz or U20, who I've used a few times on my V8 C5 for mechanical work, coding is always done at MRC.

Also, agree with the other replies. I wouldn't bother mapping the S8. Better off spending the money on fuel.
