Active Autowerke posted a 128i with their AA headers/disa manifold, and AA tune, and it did 249whp. Inflated numbers because it is a Dynojet, but that's really high regardless.

You pay a premium for the SuperSprint headers, and to some it's worth it. I can absolutely understand wanting the best, but I don't think there are any performance benefits to be had by going with SuperSprint over Active Autowerke. Just my .02
