It'd be stupid to buy anything other than AR design

Stays 3 inches farther down than the rest, best quality, great customer service, made in the USA

If you want max HP def get the AR ones, riss arent bad either, but youll be lucky if they fit

Hi Kyle,

its great you're looking into downpipes. They're a big performance adder and gives great sound. We offer 4 styles for downpipes if you are interested.

3" Catless (Polished)
3" Catless (Coated)

3" CATTED (Polished)
3" CATTED (Coated)

Downpipes have been fitted on LHD and RHD vehicles around the world. We have our OWN DIY with Tech assistance over the phone. Downpipes are probably one of the hardest mods to install by yourself so we make sure to be available in case you need the extra help.

if I were you, I'd not order it from RR. you can hardly get in touch with them once the payment is made.

really that's good for you.

Luckily I'd had ordered various stuff for my bimmer from many different sellers like NA Motorsport, terry@bms, harold@hp, ralph@helix, and ecs..etc, although some of their companies are small, ALL OF THEM provide excellent customer service and after-sale support.

here are my catless DPs from AR design on my e90

[u2b]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0zCdtoKozhc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0zCdtoKozhc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/u2b]

back pressure is everything with turbo cars, so, if you want max HP in yours, you should probably get the downpipes with the least back pressure (thats how I thought of it)

AR design has more 3" pipe in total than all other competitors, so I figured, i'd get more HP with these than from anywhere else

I dont know, no brainer to me, but to each is own

ps they fit great too... and andrew (^) picks up the phone no matter what stupid questions you have for him

i'd also pass on the "coating" from any company... I got it without and never really wish I had it, doubt it really makes a difference IMO

car sounds really nice the only mod you have is DP and no aftermarket exhaust?

BTW I thought with turbo cars its all about free flowing exhaust?
