Yea, I'd be iterested too since I have Dinan CAI, Throttle body and stage 3 softwre and barely noticed any difference at all....

Re-opened up my passenger-front door to re-apply the zip tie fix with stronger zip ties. This time only one of the four zip ties broke upon moving the window through its range of motion. Good enough to keep the window up until I can get a new regulator sometime in the near future . . .
Just placed an order with German Auto Solutions for their DISA rebuild kit. Will order the CCV kit and oil filter housing gasket from ECS tomorrow and can look forward to a fun filled day of preventative maintenance and repair this weekend. Won't necessarily be fun, but keeping the car in good health is good for the long run.
I tried an alternative to Mr. Clean Magic Eraser today. Instead, I used my cleaner mix of Simple Green / Rubbing Alcohol.
I cleaned my steering wheel and alcantara on my seats with it. Also wiped all the buttons I use on a regular basis. Looking new at this point. :thumbsup
Cleaned up my other E46 today.
It may be even less special than our "not special" ZHPs, but it still shines up pretty good. I was working on the engine compartment Scrubbing Bubbles DIY, and the guy across the street came over and asked if I wanted to sell it.
I don't think I do.

I haven't had a chance to comment on my Corsa cat back exhaust I installed last week .
I love this exhaust! It has a great growl to it in the meat of the power band yet quiet at idle and highway cruising.When I was installing it, I noticed that all three sets of mufflers/resonators were a strait through design...

Some quick installation notes:
For all exhaust systems: Don't expect to get the manifold flange bolts off without lots of heat... The Oxy/acetylene kind of heat. Be prepared to replace the manifold bolts if they are extremely rusted like mine were.

Everything fit perfectly but I'll probably bend the muffler hangers a bit to get the tips tucked up into the diffuser.

Use plenty of anti-sieze on the exhaust pipe clamps. The clamps that come with it are really good but you have to tighten them until you think they will break, then tighten some more. They need the lube so the threads don't get destroyed during this process and don't forget to re-tighten after getting everything hot.
You may have rotate the clamps a bit or turn them opposite to what the directions state to clear tires and front drive shaft tunnel crossmember.
Looks great Rob.
