Chinese DPs, used 5 min...
So let me tell you the story behind these. Chinese SS pipes that were sold as fitting my Z4 - but...not really, as the flanges on the z4 are rotated 90 degrees from the rest of the n54 family. So they get here, and I do a really good job with the ceramic black paint, heat treating them in my grill exactly like they are supposed to be. Then I take it over to my shop... My shop decided not to check the orientation out before they put them on. So, I ended up buying the right ones from VRSF (long story there). So these were used for ~5 minutes to back my car off the lift, and then a few days later to pull it on. I've got a bolt and gasket set as well for them. https://photos.app.goo.gl/j9C23kBJAQkCU9wg8 First pic of the install on the z4, don't work......... These fit any 3 series with the N54. |

Yeah you are very close to me, my daughter plays soccer off coit and McDermott. But I actually don't live in Dallas proper any longer, I live out in far west Little Elm, by the toll bridge. But I will pass @ that price.

Well when I hear Chinese Downpipes I think of these https://www.ebay.com/i/223253356469?...d217e3fff610d6
And by the look of yours I am guessing the latter due to the number of welds instead of bends. GLWS BTW there's a coater in arlington that ceramic coats exhaust parts for $20/ft for 3" pipes. Wont chip off like yours did and really high quality work. Might want to give him a call with your new downpipes as if thats real ceramic coating it probably wont be much more to have him do it.
