I’d take the set too, if atb88 doesn’t. So, 2nd in line? I’d even come and get em, If you’re still in Nebraska. Would be a fun drive from Colorado.

whats a euro setup worth? im parting out an engine here in Australia and will have a set of euro headers for sale in the next 2-3 weeks.

$500-600 headers then again for cats, depending on cond/miles.

Euro cats probably bring closer to $700-800 a set nowadays. Scrap prices were high a few months ago and lots of people bought them up to melt down.

What happened man?

Alot of crap is not in stock due to this worldwide panic of the common cold Chinese off brand. I called them initially with just a question but the guy wanted to do the order for me. I'm definitely not a fan of this but everything worked out at first. I had to call to modify it from ZCP to Porsche BBK and then call two more times to get that corrected. The next week I sent an email during the Tmobile crash because I couldn't call them. I had cancelled them and switched to BMW ones since both front and rear ECS ones were on backorder. Turns out the changes didn't save so the wrong rotors shipped and my other order, which he had separated so it could ship sooner, didn't. I just emailed customer service to cancel the orders because this was just a soup sandwich at this point. I ended up getting through to customer service which used the order I had ask them to cancel, to fix the problem. My account showed most of the right items. It was good except for the shipping of the wrong rotors, in which I was charged for. I had to call a fifth time to get a return label emailed to me. Everything seemed like it finally worked out....

Except three days after they fixed the order, customer service finally replied to my email. They apologized about my rotors being shipped and cancelled the fixed order. I just threw me hands up in the air, laughed a bit, and went to Pelican parts, FCP, and Ralley Road. I wish I could've gone through Bimmerworld but shipping would've been $127 just for the rotors. At the same time the machine shop I found lost my confidence. The guy kept saying 5mm and I had to keep emphasizing 5.5mm. I definitely went and just picked up the calipers.

I'm not saying I won't ever go to ECS again, but once again, they move further down my list. I've spent at least $3,500 on three different E46s with them and have 24 orders. So far I'm at a 15% order issue rate. I've had an order just cancelled out of the blue before with no message or amything.

I think that remains to be seen because none of them have really been changing hands around here lately. The last set I saw sell here went for $600 and that was a month ago.

The thing is that used euro cats were a good value for what they are at $600. But once you get to the $700-$800+ range it feels pretty hard to justify spending that amount of money on used cats when you can just get some brand new decent quality cats welded into your existing sec 1 for the same price. For that reason it seems like it would be foolish for people to be spending more than $700 on euro cats, even if they are rarer now.

Agreed. I thought $560 was expensive for used euro cats when I got some in 2014. I wouldn't pay much more, esp since they're baby pipes (2.16-2.25") and you'll likely be going stepped at some point in the future anyway.

Got my euro headers/cats for $580 each and thats what they'll sell for. Just a comment, please no PMs as they won't be for sale for a while yet
