Ssoooooo did anybody pick this kit up and have any feed back?

I believe the kit has fitment issues for certain years. But I don't think anyone (other than test car) have the kit installed yet. I think people are still waiting for parts as well.

Sounds like the Doc is tracing his parts out for Bubba to make them in crayon.

The header change for 15+ is the issue I believe.

Yes, they posted about it on Instagram. Being mostly a BMW focused company, I guess they missed the memo on that change from the factory. Seemed apologetic and wanted to make things right when the issue was discovered.

No personal dealings with them whatsoever, but I thought that was good of them to admit they missed something and make the effort to correct it. Can't speak on quality, but I'll echo what some other guys have said that they seem to be well respected for the work they do in the BMW community.

The one on the top is my friend's 2012 header. The other is my 2014 header. From what I've known, the header was changed from 2014.

I also had the updated version on my 2014 even with a manufacture date of late 2013.

I like the look of the 2012 headers better than my 2014 ones.......LOL:rofl2:

My 5.0 Mustangs had what were called the Tri-Y OEM headers that look similiar to the 2014+ Z headers and they were VERY efficient. So much that changing them for shorties was a total waste of money.

That Doc Race turbo setup price looks inviting though too bad its just for a manual transmission.:icon14::icon14:

My Z put down 600 rear whp in the dyno with the stock 2014 header. No sign of hindering performance. So changing them for other shorties would probably be a total waste of money unless you go pass the number. :D

Correct - but my point was it appears to be ALL 2014s, not a mid year switch, or late model transition.
