Similar sets sold on ebay for about the same price.

The price has gone down on the AR Design models but it appears the company went bankrupt so not sure about current permutation of the product. Still twice as much as the VRSF

It would be nice to have a comparison of both VRSF and AR. I would like to change the downpipes on my E60 535 XDrive. They must be catted.

I'm in the same boat. I don't want to spend money on a product that is untested on this platform. Unfortunatley everything on the 5 series N54 platform is more challenging and rarely easier than the N54 on the 3 series.

I have a 08' 535i and the vrsf downpipes fit well although a hassle to get in

Sorry to resurrect and old thread but I'm not having luck searching for more info (new to the forum and could well be missing it - pls feel free to redirect me).

I'm considering an upgrade on my '08 535i to high flow CATTED downpipes and am just not finding them. Getting a number of results including VRSF as talked about here with high flow catted DPs but for the 335i application. Does anyone have info on if the geometry is different between the n54 platforms for the downpipes? I would totally expect the pipes from the DPs on back to be different given we're obviously talking very different chassis lengths but wondered if those differences started after the DPs (I could imagine BMW wanting to save production costs by pulling those from the same parts bin) or, no, even the DPs themselves are different right off the turbos.

Hopeful but suspicious that mine is a dumb question and there's no interchangeability there...
