I understand how you feel but from experience let me tell you the AMS Alpha DP is a work of art. Smooth bends, high quality cat, perfect fitment with factory mounts in a really tight space. No way a basic shop could do this without a hack job. Also cutting into O2 sensor cables is not a good idea. Swapping them out for longer Bosch sensors with a quick connector change and running the wires through the factory clips is the only way to go. It gets extremely hot in that tight space hot enough to melt the wires. If you want quality fitting of a M5/M6 then spend the money. I spent 3000 and have the 300 cell metal cats, plus 300 for new longer sensors and ceramic coating and let me tell you no CEL and every mechanic in my shop was drooling. This is not a mustang GT, this is a high end German performance machine. I see so many people dropping 6-8k on wheels, the DPs are the REAL deal.
