Anyone running either of these downpipes?

Option A: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1320-Perform...25.m3641.l6368

Option B: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bmw-Euro-335...25.m3641.l6368

Both of them say they're for Euro Spec models, but are shipped from California and Texas, respectively. They're $200 cheaper than the other downpipes I know of that are confirmed to work on US spec vehicles. I'll give the sellers an email to see, but wanted to see what you fellows on here had to say. Thanks!

Second one looks nicer , but it's $180 for shipping, in that case being the first would be the best

They both show free shipping for me.

Why are you asking of these unless you have European version? For those prices, I would be suspicious of materials used.

EDIT: 2nd one says finish is 304L SS, satin finish. Made by circuit werks CW normally used 201 SS on exhausts. The term finish for material is a little wierd for me. I bet it's 201

That stuff is junk. why not buy from buzzken or bohl? reputable people with good products.

Do you guys think the first down pipe could be used on an American 335d if a bolt on flange was welded on?

If y'all are looking to save money, just gut the DPF. Otherwise the iaknown DP or buzken dp is your next best choice in terms of cost.

+1 on the gutted DPF, I went with this route so that it looks the most standard when viewed at the time of the annual test (UK - MoT).
I also had the exhaust system removed, sliced the top half of the centre box too and gutted that, well removed the perforated inner pipes and replaced with sealed pipe for better flow. Lastly I removed the rear boxes and replaced with two mandrel bent pipes to the out of the back of the car, it all makes for quite a hollow and free flowing exhaust system.
