I think Steve Jobs approach to products is be enough of a dick to your employees and treat enough people like dirt that they make a good product just to avoid that treatment.

You would be a dick too if that trait allowed you to build a company 1/100th as valuable as Apple P.S. I love my iPhone and Macbooks

Nice work, Andrew. I, too, am a big fan of the quality if the work you achieve. Vrsf, n54tuning.com, etc can all copy the design.
I wouldn't loose any sleep or fret about market share, because: -nobody can copy quality and customer service -people that want to put $300 downpipes on a bmw that cost $50k probably only paid $20k for their car -don't cater to those used market forum members. There (was) a lot of quality forum contributors here over the past generation if the e90. Now, the n54 is used, except for the iS AR rocks |

AR, I know you asked for what else you could fabricate for the N54 market, so here are my thoughts.
I feel like you guys should fabricate a lower charge pipe and upper charge pipe section for this car. One, there are no standalone companies that offer a lower charge pipe, and most aftermarket FMIC's don't change it out. Also, obviously the upper charge pipe section could be made to compete with ER, ETS, Stett, etc. Good plan? |

Nothing like showing your product and letting it speak for itself. Top notch quality. I'll be parting with my AR DPs soon, but only because I'm losing a turbo. I'm sure they'll find a good home though.

Great quality products, but I think this is as useful as the average HPF thread.

I'd also like to compliment the AR DPs from an installer's standpoint. I've cursed the mothers of many a company while trying to wrestle their DPs into a car. Not so with the ARs.

People quickly forget how fast labor can add up when installing a set of knockoffs, or poorly made parts.

I was at a Welding trade show the other day and the welds on the ARs are very high quality. Love mine by the way
