WTB down pipe for my N55 135 ,any recommendations?

I have Cobb and don't wanna throw codes, etc. I see the prices range from 270 to 900. I don't understand why. Do you get what you pay for, or is the 300 one just as good/functional?

Thanks

I'll spare you from the blabbing... you have two choices

BMS downpipes or AR Design.

VRSF has some fitment issues on some cars (Just use the search button), just pay the extra ~$15 for perfect fitment from BMS.

AR downpipes are basically the same thing but much more expensive, if you dyno'd the two side by side, differences will be negligible.

Slight monkey wrench... BMS is no longer in the downpipe business. I put a Wagner in 2 weeks ago and I am pretty happy. It is not fully catless but I am cool with the sound and more importantly I am liking how my car is driving now. It really depends on what you want from your part.

They are, you just have to find the right people

EDIT: they don't sell downpipes in California, but they do in other states apparently. Not verified info, but from what I heard.

Bought a BMS, have it new in the box, no way to install right now so looking to resell. Appears to be a beautiful well made pipe.
