I don't mean to worry you, but you may be missing the heatshield that sits on the subframe. They presumably protect the bushing from the hot cats/pipe, and it's possible that the installer removed it for additional clearance as they do rest on them by default. As far as the stripped bolt, it's very common and anti-seize is basically a must.

Here's what mine looks like (2008 N54): https://lh3.ggpht.com/_5KTDN7UjmK8/T...0/DSC_0019.JPG

^I can't really see the heatshield you are reffering to in the picture. I had them reinstalled at a different shop and while it's alot better I can still feel them rubbing on left turns when i'm on the gas.

One of my buddies said it might be because I don't currently have the midpipe bracket on there because my BMW dealership thought it would be a good idea to strip it and just leave it on there loose and rattly so I just took it off. If someone can chime in in relation to this that would be helpful. Already tried to get the dealer to cover it and they pretty much told me no...Considering emailing BMW NA as I really shouldn't have to pay $200 for something the technician broke that's never been touched before the turbo replacement.

Find a less expensive downpipe at this quality & we can talk discounts

We do run GB discounts when shipping internationally, just gather up a few people on your local forums and we can work something out!

Hey guys. I have a MD whisper AB + AP MP + VRSF DP. I hate to bloat, but I cannot imagine a more perfect sound I will post a clip after work Tom hopefully.

Anyways, great fitment, install didn't give me a problem. Power gains are definite noticeable, and of course the extra roar when you apply load is nice I have not other product to compare, however, due to the nature of the application, I figured cheapest was best.
