DPS & M3 Rear Parts Installed by VAC!

A few weeks ago, I was passing through Philly for work and since Pittsburgh has not one good performance shop, I decided to stop by VAC Motorsports to have my mods installed.

Now I was planning to drop my car off Monday and rent a car then continue to NJ to work for the week and pick the car up Wednesday. But since NJ got hit with that big snowstorm over the weekend, I had nothing to do Monday.

So when I arrived at VAC Monday morning, Mike spent about 45 minutes talking to me and showing their huge facility. Now I'll admit, from the outside you definitely can be deceived, the old saying, dont judge a book by its cover definitely applies. Once going inside their shop, you see that these guys mean business, they can pretty much fabricate everything onsite if needed.

So I told Mike about my change in plans and that I was just going to stay in Philly for the day if there was anyway to have my car done by day end. Now I would have been fine with a "Hell No" because the plan was for them to have 2 days while I was working in NJ. Instead Mike talked to the mechanic who would be doing the work(Sorry, I forget his name) and he was like, yup, I think I can have it done.

Talk about customer service, so after squaring everything away, Mike actually drove me to a Hampton Inn by the airport. So I spent the day working and later in the day when the car was done, Mike actually drove back out and picked me up again.

Holy hell this is getting long. So to sum up, the install was flawless, the car has run geat. Performance is fantastic with the xi and the m3 parts.

Thanks again Mike and VAC Motorsports for the install.


Notes: VAC Motorsports - Awesome install, very very good price and great customer service.

Ya, he worked out a good deal with you guys I suppose for my AR dps. I hate haggling but I felt like I had too since vendor prices can vary so much.

Thanks for making a great product, the catless ar dps are great, the sound and everything. This is one of the few times I'm happy to have an e90 with secondary cats because I can see how it could smell on the e92.

e92 has secondary cats too. It's the resonator that differs between the two.

AR dps are the best in the business. Hands down. You made a good choice.

Ohhh, I thought I read on this forum somewhere that it was the case with the e92. I'm confused, I thought everything written on forums was factual and never wrong??
