I rarely reply to your foolishness so I'm not going to "keep talking." Most of your posts on this forum is biased ignorance. And I'm not just talking about tunes.

PS: I will report back IF my DP's give me problems.

I have no idea about any other brands, but the BMS DP's I installed on my car Friday had really nice quality welds and fit perfectly, Just bolted them on and started the car right up... no issues, no rattle.... no adjusting anything.

Some may have their preference, but there are a lot of people running many different brands without issue - just go with what you're comfortable and familiar with.

I was under the impression that the BMS and VRSF pipes came from the same factory. Did someone confirm otherwise? I have VRSF myself and have nothing against BMS pipes which I have seen first hand. I don't see a problem with either set.

They don't come from the same place.. They are not even the same design.

Downpipes connect to catback with gaskets and turbos with clamps. Goodluck finding away around that.

BMS for the win.

IIRC BMS & one of the more expensive sets come from the same factory. That does not mean that they are the same pipes, specs & materials could very easily be different. The factories are just contract fabricators.

I remember when Terry was getting into the pipes he rejected a few prototype units that were sent over from China for trial fits. Moved some bungs around and a few other things before he gave them the OK to run a batch. Attention to detail gave them a good product for a good price.
