Cp-e or Active Autowerks DP

335i101 · 06-29-2011, 11:59 PM

Title says it all, want to buy DP's and wondering the differences in: ease of install, sound, performance....any other input is welcome.

Thanks!

I would steer away from Active if you want ease of install... they're a little tricky.

Seriously? AA's go in without a hitch.

I've got the cp-e DP's and they are great. Install is straightforward and a bitch. I love the cast bellmouth and the fitament is spot on.

I put a set of AAs on a few weeks ago....... Major issue is getting the clamps back on ..... See my post at http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=538822

My car is a RHD so ignore that. I opened up the clamps a bit and got longer bolts as per my post. Pipes fitted ok and work well otherwise.

AA DPs have caused many people on this site hassles during the install....
