Cool! I hope they work for you too, that would be a great data point.

I've heard of at least one other person getting it to work but it was a struggle...

I can confirm they work. I installed a pair of 90deg angled extenders on my ZHP with catless headers (in the rear-most bungs). It is a bit of a struggle to get them to fit, lots of initial loose fitment until you get the angles just right since the space and clearance is tight, and after a few test fits, you'll be able to figure out what angles the extenders need to point. Just remember that these headers are nothing without a tune. I went with Eurocharged for my tune, and have since added a big bore throttle body, and the response is much, much better compared to stock. I have a set of underdrive pulleys waiting to top it off, and that should be it for NA bolt ons.

When it comes to smog time (CA), I revert my car to the OEM tune and cycle the car on the freeway up to steady 55mph in order to get all the monitors ready for smog. Even with the tune's ability to code out the CEL, the monitors will be in the 'not ready' state, hence the need to go back to OEM to play nice with the smog computers. Going back and forth from OEM tune to Eurocharged, the car responds much differently, such a dog going back to the OEM tune.

I went with this company since they are local to me:

No dyno results, but given that all the mods put together complement each other, it makes the car just a bit more fun to drive. It's all subjective anyways, I have an S54 in my other car so my M54 ZHP won't feel as frantic as the S54 but it's fine for daily driving.

I don't have pulleys installed yet. Will probably go with Turner Motorsport or Rogue, whatever big name is available and will be on sale during the holiday/clearance season, highly doubt there is a noticeable difference between the big names.

350$ for approximately 5WHP gain is too expensive, thank you for the info.
Does rogue have 3 set pullies

[Newjack]

Go with Rogue pulleys. All other vendors sell their own pulleys, which are a replica of the Rogue pulleys. Rogue are the original and they usually have sales on them. Best mod I've done to my car in terms of power and responsiveness.
