i installed it thursday and went to gridlife this weekend. however they were 20 minute sessions plus it was rainy out, so i wasn't getting on it nearly as hard as usual. a new coil seems like it can take a bit of a beating anyway before kicking off this error. my oil wasn't as hot as it normally gets but i was still to the point of getting close to or topping out 4th on the long straight; i only did 5 sessions over the weekend though. so perhaps too early to tell for me yet.

i'm not sure if the swaintech ceramic coating reduced overall under hood temperatures, but i am sure it itself is far far less hot when i come off the track (i can touch it) than my prior (oem) header. i just put the gold foil on and will report back with results as i see them. next track day is blackhawk farms with badger bimmers on the 15th (first time there) and doing ab south with gridlife at the end of june, which i'm much more comfortable and familiar with. i think if i make it through that event with no error i will consider the issue resolved.
