Yeah it's big...
Got this massive thing in the mail today!
Thanks to tiago at vrsf speedfactory for throwing this my way, they should be available soon from him. The piece itself is very well built. The welds are nice, the bungs are in the correct place. fitment I would say is a 10/10 but honestly there is so much room in there compared to the ol' N54 you could shove a watermelon up there and have room to work with. No complaints so far. The first drive went well. There is a definite increase in power from 1200 all the way up to 7 grand. You can feel it pulling much harder . The sound is pretty intoxicating as well, you want to floor it all the time haha. I will post some videos up later today. Last edited by MMMCOOKIES55; 11-13-2016 at 05:54 AM.. |

Were getting there, the Install is pretty much like any Downpipe install. You definatly have to remove the airbox so you can get the vband clamp off (which is a total bitch). I ended up unclipping the O2 sensors first and pulling them out with the Downpipe instead of trying to remove them with it installed. Overall I would say the install was pretty easy considering. Definatly beats the N54 days haha.

can the downpipe be removed without dropping the rest of the exhaust to the ground?

Whoa whoa whoa....wait just a minute....
1st congrats on the downpipes and awesome pics. But this is the 1st time I've seen a b58 up close like this and with no intake and engine cover. Are my eyes deceiving me or is there like a plethora of room and the TURBO is basically 90% accessible and seen from the top!??? Do you know what this means man! A turbo swap judging by the photos you were kind enough to provide us with is going to be a walk in the park vs the N54 and N55!
