Not at all.

looks like the 2 RR Dps raped a set of UR DPs and this is the bastard offspring.

Nice product though.

Sorry a) I meant to PM you and b) I haven't been on here a while and got really excited when I saw DPs from VK so I didn't read the rest of the thread. I'd be happy to help determine XI interest if you'd like. I aided in the UUC sway bars for xi.

We will be test fitting a 335xi this coming week so we should have some answers for you Xi guys. If we dont have to do any major changes then expect the price to be the same.

sd390r · 01-25-2009, 01:08 AM

all downpipes look the same in pictures, fitment is the real test

thats why IMO riss has the best marketing but the worst DPs... website makes them look shiny and nice, but in reality, 50% of them fit

so id wait to hear some reviews before buying anything

Vince@ V K Motorwerks · 01-25-2009, 01:14 AM

We are confident that fitment will be fine.

sd390r · 01-25-2009, 01:21 AM

just curious, where are these made?

ar design · 01-25-2009, 01:28 AM

I asked that as well as a few other technical questions, did not see a reply?

munters · 01-25-2009, 04:46 AM

does it matter ? it's metal. People solder around the world since a long time. nothing special.

CubanJJ09 · 01-25-2009, 10:04 AM

looks pretty sweet. I'll perhaps be picking up a pair of these after my dinan warranty is up.

+1.. its not rocket science. Nowadays even high tech defence applications have manufacturing in asia. Heck your BMW 3's now are being made in Chennai,India.

For me the quality of the OC regardless of where it made has been made me a believer of VK products.

These products look good,have a great price ...if they perform and last as long as the others ..that enough.

some of the parts on my high ho p car comes from outside usa.

I hate to digress this thread...but wanted to make a point.

What makes you think BMW's sold in Hong Kong, Singapore or anywhere in Asia are lower quality than the one's made in SA??..BMW is a BMW no matter where they are made - same standards and machinery.

My point is technology and manufacturing quality has become more or less the same level across the world.

I work for one of the largest consumer products companies in the world...believe me 90% of our products are sourced and quality better or equal to anyone out here in the western hemisphere.

sd390r · 01-26-2009, 12:09 AM

whatever you say

as long as youre the one driving the 335 made in india and im the one driving the german one, im happy
