Downpipe.. All The Same??

Looking At The Vrsf Catless.. Noticed The Price Difference Is Much Lower Than Others..
Are We Paying For Brand Name??
The Design Looks Pretty Str8forward With This Item..
Dont Understand Why One Brand Is 700 And Vrsf Is 300??
I Get It If Ones Coated Or Ss?? But Wat A Price Diff

Its just a piece of bent pipe. Anyone should be able to fab it to fit like oem - not rocket science. Just my two cents....

Vrsf. Fitment and quality are high.

The expensive ones are either just a name, or made out of titanium. In which both are pointless for our purposes.

Talking to local high performance shops, a lot won't mess with VRSF. They mention they don't like the placement of O2 sensors as well as the craftsmanship of the pipes themselves are below average (welds, bends, etc)

I have the VRSF on our E82, and opted for the ceramic coated version. Can't comment on the fitment for the N54 pipes, but on the N55 it was spot on.

Correct. If running a cat-less DP, you'll need some form of error cancelling to defeat the CEL. In my case, this is done with the JB4 box.
