Did I get a bad batch of vrsf downpipes?

Grinchxvx · 08-23-2014, 10:20 PM

I scored some vrsf downpipes today locally from a guy who bought them for his son but never had them put on. They look pretty legit except for the inside where the o2 sensors go in is a little rough. It doesn't bother me too much as long as everything fits. Don't know If this is normal or If I'm even eligible for another set since I bought them second hand.

Good, just never saw any in person. Thought it was weird how they protrude out a little.

Same thing happened in this thread.

I don't really think it's cause for concern. There are prettier parts, but that will work just fine.

O2 bungs being inset like that is normal, and due to the location on a curve (there's no where else to go) they pretty much have to be set like that and allow the sensor to be properly threaded.

run it. nothing wrong with that part

Grinchxvx · 08-23-2014, 11:38 PM

Hell yeah I'm glad, thanks guys. Hopefully throwing these in soon

They look good to me, I have a set too... Any fitment issues Tiago will replace, he's great!

I've had some quality control issues with VRSF before regarding an intercooler I purchased. I was soured immediately and just returned it and never looked back. Seems like it's hit or miss.

Grinchxvx · 08-24-2014, 06:53 PM

Put the downpipes in today and everything fit and my car feels/sounds amazing. Took me and my buddy on a lift 2 1/2 hours but not too bad. Those V band clamps are a PITA! Besides that it's easy.

Had a similar experience. Glad you were able to return. I haven't been as fortunate.
