Completely agree with above posts... You gotta make a name for yourself any field. The wait time for these to come to production is a fuc*ing joke. How Long should it seriously take to produce? A week? I love my ARs... I school people up and down the road and get compliments by how beautiful my car sounds. Listen, I'm also one for saving some green and I feel sorry for those in a position where they feel like they need to wait for the set tiago has promised. It's not your fault for wanting to pay less for a 'comparable' product. I just think you'll be disappointed by wait times. That said, I hope I'm proven wrong and you all get the pipes you deserve. Have fun, drive safely.

Larger the dp faster the spool, not that we have a problem with that though. I guaranty that if you ran open dump tubes at the end of the 3" section, you would pick up hp ESP. Up top. I'm surprised no one has run electric cut outs yet. Would be great for the track and still keep the stock cat back.

More bad news unfortunately... I called to make my appointment for this Saturday but the owner of the shop who does most of the work is going to be out at a wedding... I really wish they were here last Friday cause then I would have them all done but there's nothing I could do since they didn't get here. I would have it done on the week but my car is my DD and I can't be without it for so long on a weekday (i'm getting FMIC, DP's, Rotors, SS lines, Fluid, Pads, and injectors done). I really apologize to everyone because I didn't want to add to the wait... I'm going to see what I can do and try to maybe find someone to do it this weekend although I doubt thats the route i'll go since almost ever shop i've called a few weeks ago had prices to high except the one i'm going to.
Edit: Never mind I put some thought into it and I really don't want to be the one holding this up any longer... I'm going to drop it off Saturday morning and hopefully pick it up either Sunday or Monday since Monday is columbus day. Last edited by psmitty95; 10-01-2012 at 03:33 PM.. |

I wish I bought CPO although what the guy below said is also true. I'm happy to have upgraded brakes that will stop better and dust less. When i was at 49.5k miles I had my car in with the dealership 3 times in 2 weeks and they refused to replace the brakes. They were claiming the rear brakes were aftermarket since we didn't buy it from a BMW dealership and thats where the squeaking was coming from. It was obvious the squeaking was coming from the front of the car though. We wound up emailing back and forth with the manager and the head of BMW NA north east and then they stopped responding to us and the car went out of warranty... I would have had all of that done if I could have. Exactly why i'm not that mad that i'm replacing them out of warranty. It's going to be nice having brakes that stop better and dust much less than the OEM. On the other hand I wish I was CPO for the injectors. I'm only replacing the one that needs to be replaced though...

Do know know if someone is already lined up to do the test fit? I might be willing and able to participate if that's the hold up. I'm located in MA.
Thanks,

I'm not sure I would call the time to market a joke. It's a decision made by the vendor in the context of other work / projects that are currently underway. My guess is that they could speed this up if it was deemed a higher priority, but that's for them to decide.... At least he is being honest about the timeline by not committing to when they will be available at this point.... Some vendors would be taking orders at this point

Of course they wait until I sell my car to come out with new stuff for the xi guys. Glad to hear it though.
Anyone that doesn't want to wait, I have a set of brand new vk motorwerks downpipes that fit xi. They don't make these anymore so this might be the last brand new set in existence. I'd sell for 300. Pm me |

I'm actually the one who's test fitting. Most likely dropping the car off this Saturday and getting it back either Sunday or Monday.

Yea i'm dropping it off Saturday morning and picking it up either Sunday or Monday. The downpipes will be installed along with a FMIC, TMS brake kit, and new injector. If all goes according to plan and they fit perfectly I should have some pictures up on here for you guys to check out and hopefully some sound clips also.

Dropped it off this morning. Here's the Facebook page of the shop that's installing them so feel free to check out their page if you'd like. They will be posting up pictures as they go through the install.

Although you might be frustrated with the 'continued-wait', nobody is keeping you from heading online and buying a set of DP's from a competitor. Stop complaining like a child who rants but doesn't actually do anything about it. If you are truly unsatisfied with the progress and delivery time, than go somewhere else because a lost sale is truly a sign of an upset customer. I'm not trying to attack you, but its always easier to play Monday-morning quarterback and complain. |

Don't worry, i could care less if you are attacking me or not. If no one voices complaint, nothing changes. Good luck with your fabrication business and I hope these pipes become successful for vrsf. After all, competition is good for the consumer.

I completely understand how some of you feel with the on going delays but we do have a lot of time & money invested this project and I absolutely plan to see it through. While it took a bit longer than expected, we're getting to the final stages & once the final fitment is confirmed, I'll do everything I can to expedite the process |
