Vendors sometimes provide them straight away or at the request of the forum members. I wasn't asking for the CAD file or how build their exhaust from scratch in my garage.

I asked for an explanation of their R&D practices so that you, the members can make an EDUCATED purchase. Like I said, many can bend and weld pipes, but building a proper exhaust is another story. Yes my post was a bit inquisitive, but if many of you have not visited other forums or even E90post or M3Post here, you should take a look in the Vendor Feedback forum, GT Haus isn't exactly the most honest vendor. You are welcome to buy from whoever you choose, but it doesn't hurt as a fellow forum member to educate who you are buying from and when to know you are buying from a legit vendor vs one who has been known to be shady time and time again. If they truly did real R&D, then any stand up vendor would not hesitate to show some proof, simple as that.

Just a few threads out there:

Don't even get me started on the well known GT Haus/Eisenhaus scandal. You can search and read for yourself no need to repeat the story.

Man, still on this subject, Really?

Also, please double check your idea of what TÜV is.
You are required to have your product “TÜV tested and approved” in order to sell your products
to public in Europe (Particularly in Germany)
Products/Goods sold elsewhere (including North America) don’t need to follow these German TÜV regulations.
For your information, eisenmann “race” systems are “off road use only” and also not TÜV approved.

It appears that we know what we are talking about, you don't.... really.
