VRSF Downpipes not fitting
Just got a call from the shop installing my DP's and they say they do not fit!!! Anyone else encounter this?
EDIT: Just got a call back from the shop and with a little convincing they fit. Sorry for the alarming post. Last edited by JAL0988; 05-30-2013 at 03:33 PM.. |

The vrsf pipes definitely require some extra muscle to get in. The money you'll save on them you'll pay in shop time lol

Our new revised DP's bolt right on. I'd be willing to put money on the fact that our downpipes provide more clearance and bolt up faster than any competitors downpipes after this latest revision. |

Um not sure what vrsf pipes you have experience with. Took me less than 2 hours installing myself with the car on jackstands without a single issue.

As this thread is proof of, the fault generally lies with the installer as there are a handful of "these pipes don't fit" threads with all brands of DP's. |

I had to have part of my frame tapped in with a hammer to keep the pipes from touching the frame and creating a vibration. All is good now but it cost me an additional $200 to have them refitted and the frame beat in alil bit

The DP's are now installed. They just needed to be twisted around a little bit in order to fit. All in all I'm very happy with them and even the shop manager(who has AR dp's) said they were great quality. Definitely a good purchase if you're not willing to spend close to a grand for AR's.

I'm going to hold out on the meth right now. I'm working on a e30 map with Jake at PTF. The car pulls hard and it's smooth
E85 is great )) When I do upgraded turbos i'll consider meth. I hate the damn siren sound on my stockers but at least they hold boost for now ... |

Just to clarify, it was a simple installation error on the shops part:
"Thanks for getting back to me. They ended up fitting after I told them to rotate. Sorry for the false alarm. I was just hearing it through the phone that they weren't fitting correctly but then I told him to rotate the pipes and then they fit. I believe I was the first xDrive car they've done so it was a learning process for them. Thanks and sorry for the false alarm. PS- The shop manager said they are very high quality DP's and he has AR downpipes on his 135i. He said they are great so you should be proud of a quality product " |
