Another VRSF 3" Downpipe Review

Tiago@VRSF · 03-28-2012, 07:24 PM

We ran out of packing materials and didn't want to delay these. Normally I'd hold of but these boxes are relatively thick in comparison to what we normally ship with. From personal experience it takes a really good whack with an 8lb sledge hammer to put a small dent in one of these so they'll definitely be ok to ship

Just finished installing these with a friend 20 mins ago.. install was arduous at best but thats no fault of VRSF. Just typical BMW working space and seized nuts/bolts on a 4 year old canadian car. About 2x as hard as a FMIC install.

Fitment was good, pipes look/sound good - had no problem with bolts and washers provided.

Simon76 · 04-02-2012, 06:40 AM

Finally, after almost a week in the Swedish Customs..
Did i get the special edition or what?

Very nice.. Thanks VRSF..

Tiago@VRSF · 04-02-2012, 10:08 AM

You did

Simon76 · 04-02-2012, 11:42 AM

I just finished the installation. A bit tricky, but not as dificult as i expected.. ~2,5h.
The fit was spot on. I´m very pleased.
Now i enjoy Cobb stg 2+

Thanks again Tiago.

Tiago@VRSF · 04-02-2012, 11:46 AM

Great time for a first install!

Thanks again for the purchase and support!

So about that FMIC and Exhaust....

Tiago@VRSF · 04-02-2012, 11:54 AM

Test fitting the final production FMIC today

Just waiting for the final exhaust to arrive to test fit and we can start mass production.

Motastic · 04-02-2012, 12:07 PM

Tiago!! you should let me test fit and get the first FMIC

deezofchuck · 04-02-2012, 12:13 PM

hey Tiago - any word on 335xi DP's? Any plans to produce them?

Tiago@VRSF · 04-02-2012, 12:15 PM

They're on the drawing board but we're still playing with a design that will utilize a good portion of the 3" pipe without fitment issues.

deezofchuck · 04-02-2012, 12:35 PM

ok thanks! im guessing the AR ones are the only option for XI?

venomnightrider · 04-02-2012, 01:32 PM

Installed the dp's over the weekend fits like a glove. The car runs powerful on cobb stg2+ and idles smooth, but has a slight rumble/vibration is that normal?

Tiago@VRSF · 04-02-2012, 01:49 PM

You will probably hear a bit more rattle due to the wastegates but any vibration might require re-clocking the pipes due to the pipes making contact with the sub frame or each other. It's a tight fit down there
