If you look on 2nd page a member tried those and it was a huge waste of time/money

Hmmmm but he bought them for his F10, thinking they would fit. From what I know they only made for SUVs. I think I MIGHT take a stab at them if I can't find AR ones

OBX doesn't actually make f10 versions.. even though that guy has them listed for one. That's why they took em back and I received a full refund. I have no idea why they still have it listed for an F10. Here's the response from that seller after I purchased mine.

"I asked to OBX and got that answer saying it won't fit. Please check the below link to see fitment in detail. Thanks

Luckily another member had a set of AR's coated for sale and I was able to pick them up and install while my car was down.

Sounds right. I am going to buy for X5 and see how it is.

The only thing I'd want to add is I didn't like how little of the piping came through the flange to mate to the gasket under neath. The factory piping as well as the AR's had about 1/2" or so more than the OBX's. I'd almost be afraid of them leaking due to this. Also clearance on the back of the motor where the piping bent downward was really close (could probably slide a credit card between it).

Just bought these so let's see how these really are

One thing predictable about car people is there could be 500 negative reviews about a product, an the 501st guy will always think "ehh they probably did something wrong, its all the same even though its 1/3rd the price of everyone else".

Hopefully it works out... but when I used to wrench on vehicles id always laugh at the ebay stuff people brought in with hopes and dreams of it working, and even against my recommendation insisted I install it. I didn't mind getting paid twice so its hard to complain
