ar design BMW 135i 3" Hi-Flo Catless Downpipes
ar design 135i 3" Hi-Flo™ Catless Downpipes
We are extremely excited to present our new 135i 3" Hi-Flo™ catless downpipes! The only TRUE 3" downpipes currently on the market! In addition to an intoxicating and exotic sound, these downpipes add significant power and virtually eliminate turbo lag, making the fabled N54 engine even more responsive! Our Hi-Flo™ 3" Catless Downpipes Feature:

Requires DIVX codec. 38mb. YouTube: Vimeo: Want it uploaded some other way? Just holler! More information on our Ceramic Coatings The coatings we offer are capable of withstanding temperatures of 2000° F. In addition they offer excellent chemical and corrosion resistance and possesses excellent thermal barrier characteristics, providing a dramatic reduction in radiated heat. This means reduced under-hood temperatures, accelerated exhaust gas velocity and a longer life expectancy for the downpipes. Ceramics stand above all other thermal barrier coatings currently being used in combustion chambers. Ceramics have characteristics shared by no other product, providing an unrivaled layer of thermal protection to piston tops, aluminum heads, stainless, iconel and titanium valves. Ceramics "move" heat, reducing detonation and increasing the effective oxidation of fuel. When polished, it provides a highly reflective surface that further aids in improved flame travel. Unlike previous ceramic coatings, ours is not subject to cracking and flaking, which can lead to extensive engine damage. In fact, Ceramic coatings actually strengthen the coated part. The cured "Cermet" provides a cap of material that can withstand far more heat. During testing when sufficient heat was applied to a piston to melt the aluminum, the Ceramic did not melt, rather it held the softer aluminum together. The Satin Ceramic Exhaust Coatings we offer are the most advanced exhaust system coatings available. They are a very durable ceramic-reinforced coating available in various shades. When properly applied, it becomes the most effective thermal barrier coating available, increasing performance while extending component life, and has been tested to over 2000° F without lifting, cracking or flaking 2000° coatings are available in the following colors: Satin Grey Ice Satin Titanium Satin Blue Satin Fresh Blast Satin Grey Satin Black Dyno chart below is at 95 degrees F ambient, at 6300ft elevation (so the SAE correction factor is a bit high). Only mods are our downpipes, and the AA Xede piggyback (soon to be replaced with a flash tune from ar design!) Needless to say, the car is QUICK!!! Was able to put 1 length on a GIAC chipped/Catback 2003 Audi RS6 with no problems! Now available at $699 including our exclusive gaskets and hardware!

hi andrew. may i ask what is the difference between a TRUE 3" DP as opposed to a FALSE 3" DP? presumably this is a major USP for your product. perhaps you or someone else can explain to me in lay man terms?!

I think what he means is, there is no taper at the end. Just 3in all the way.

Other companies pipes start 3" at the turbo end and taper to 2.5" near the beginning or soon after.
AR pipes, don't taper till the very end. Which offers less resistance for the turbos to spool up. And according to many reviews on e90post. The fitment on these is perfect!! No need for shaving or adjustments. I asked in another thread, but I'll also ask here.... when will catted be available?? Thanks |

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong... but typically a stock n54 engine makes about 325 HP with an all stock setup.
So these pipes are adding about 30hp extra, with a tune. |

I think you are mistaken...a stock n54 does not even make 325 at the crank

I've seen stock N54s make about 320-330hp at the crank stock. They are absolutely underrated from the factory (300hp)

i have one question in regards to the graph you posted. what exactly happened at 4.25k rpms? did you let off the gas briefly?

To be honest, absolutely no idea! We had some issues with the AA tune, that may have been it. We are now running a ProCEDE.

well that sure is better than over rated! 325 still seems optimistic when many are getting 270's-280's on base line dyno runs.
