VRSF downpipe N55 F10 535i xdrive REVIEW

stanz1983 · 07-05-2014, 10:54 PM

Before I purchased my vrsf downpipe, I was very hesitant about the functionality/added-gain of the downpipe on my 2011 535 x-drive. With a lot in my mind, I went ahead and sent an email to vrsf. Within less than 24 hours, I got a response that made me believe their product got my needs. Without further hesitation, I placed an order online and received my downpipe within a week (no delay in shipping whatsoever and transaction went very smoothly). Soon after receiving the downpipe, I had a local shop install it for me (not to mention that the quality is looked very good for the price I paid). From what I could see (and what the mechanic told me), the fitment was very good also! The soundwise it is a slightly louder than ARdesign downpipe, just by a little bit! however its kinda loud for a cold start INSIDE the garage tho hahaha.. warm start is just fine!

Ultimately I recommend this product to anyone looking for a downpipe for their f10 535. The quality, price, and added-gain were very satisfying!!!

Thx for Tiago Vieira for all the help!

im about to order a catless dp, like this one, can you tell me how bad is the smell? does it get inside the car if you stay parked for few minutes? how about drone?

Tiago@VRSF · 10-05-2018, 12:21 PM

You won't notice a smell unless you're parked inside a garage with the windows down. There's no smell while driving. If there is you need to replace your gasket
