Or maybe dealing with shipping overseas and import duty isn't to your liking? Or purchasing a product where you have no recourse should something go wrong?

Buying a product from someone who does not pay to be a vendor? Mods delete this post and ban or make him pay. If you can't pay, don't advertise.

Whatever small amount you save is it worth the hassle of dealing with a Russian company, language barrier, long shipping time, etc? Good luck if there are any fitment issues. You are really going to send it all back half way across the world?

There are plenty of companies in the US the make tubular top mounts. The only country pushing n54s to the limit is the states. Buy local for fucks sake.

M18 has a cast top mount coming out that fits a BW EFR top mount.

The o2 that is sitting 90 degrees could have issues with condensation forming on the o2 sensor and kill it's life. Just put the o2s like ACF, use the CORRECT o2s, and be done with it.

It's also obviously a direct copy of the DocRace single turbo tubular manifold which is not exactly the best designed manifold from the get go. Insanely long primaries, weird o2 placement, wastegates far away from the actual turbo, etc. You should have copied ACF, saved some tubing, and had a MUCH better designed manifold.

Edit: You want to save money buy on3 and replace the downpipe, wastegates, and turbo same price as a DR/ACF

Want to save more money give your $$$ to JPworks and pray you ever get anything let alone a full kit that fits.

You are from US and please enlighten me of when and for what you have paid import duty. Also, should I post thread links on here of terrible experience customers have had with vendors based in US? Your comment isn’t any different than nissubaru

Maybe they are waiting to become a sponsor. It doesn’t happen automaticlu at sign up. Additionally, you need to get out of you basement more. E90post is worldwide! Not only for people in the US lol

Maybe they should wait to advertise until they are approved? It is not a long process. Not going to affect a single sale.

World wide, yeah I get that, maybe it will make sense for countries outside of the US. Inside of the US I don't see why anyone would buy it vs. acf/dr/speedtech, etc.

Are you ready to spend 2k on a no name manifold from russia when you can buy a proven manifold that is not a knock off for what ~$200ish more? I just don't see the desire states side. Also, nothing proven. How many n54 manifolds only companies have come and gone? I can't even name them all.

As far as my basement I am posting from the lake house

I appreciate your posts in general but I think this is product is way too far early from being announced. Making a copy of a manifold is not hard. Risk reward is not here states side. Plenty of others if you want to roll the dice on3, JPworks, etc.

Also, support your local US manufactures. Let me know the last time Russia did a single thing for you.

Why does everyone on these forums assume that the world revolves around the U.S.? There are a large percentage of members from overseas on here who would like this type of option as their import taxes would be much lower.

The majority of the U.S. vendors use Chinese sourced parts in their kits anyways, no need to be a dick.

I’m sorry if I insulted you but your post as well as some others from different members are just wrong. On many levels. It doesn’t mater where you are writing from if your attitude is equal to someone who hasn’t been out from the basement. Dismissing a product solely because of the country of origin? That is coming from an proud American patriot who bough a BMW? I respect your contribution to the forum community as well but I think you were out of line there. Why not suggesting them to revise the design of you have the knowledge? Why not recommend them to become a sponsor so they don’t get banned and we all hypothetically miss out on something that might have been good for us. Instead you plead with the mods to ban them. Yes, many vendors have come and gone but do you honestly believe is because they and their products sucked was the reason why? The only reason why? For all of them? Maybe is because they got fed up from bullshit like you are giving on this thread and move on to another platform. You support local and US yes? I’m in Chicago IL. What have you done lately for me? Other than pissing me off.....

I'm actually patiently waiting for more info on this. I do like their valve cover options and they seem to be good with communication; at least when I emailed them.

Thanks you guys for support. The kit is in the installation state. We will post the installation & testing results soon.
For someone who worry about we are in Russia: we are now setting a warehouse in US & Canada to shorten shipment time .
As for the vendor account, I have recently joined this forum, so thanks, I definitely will do it asap.

As we want to make a perfect kit, we appreciate all the suggestions and advices from well adjusted persons.
