Personally, I would recommend VRSF.

don't get an intake - waste of money. and buy something like a REMUS axle-back instead. no need for a full cat-back.

I thought VRSF didn't have an intercooler out for the F10. Can you post a link to the intercooler you are talking about?

cat-back sure, It's worth the money for the nice sound but the intake is a total waste of money. what cat-back did you get?

Yep, I can confirm. I've been in touch with Tiago for about a year, and as recent as a month ago when they were being manufactured. I'm patiently waiting as well.

I just about bought the Wagner. Any idea how much VRSF is going to run?

Axel back by Dinan is the most efficient replacement of stock mufflers...

I went with Becker exhaust system. Best bang for the buck in my opinion.

The best bang for your buck in terms of exhaust would be a downpipe

Nah, I didn't bother to ask because I'm sure they won't reveal it until it releases. But I'm sure low enough to be a major competitor.

I second the VSRF intercooler, I was told the same thing 2/3 weeks. The Wagner only coming in Black was my major turn off along with the price. I have a M sport car and it would be nice to fill the large front opening with a large polished front mount.

You can't see the Intercooler on our F10's anyway, if color is the reason you will be disappointed. It sits behind the radiator and condenser.

If that VRSF IC is a reasonable price I'll bite on it. The Wagner price is absurd IMO.

I'm sure it's fantastic, I just can't justify that pricing knowing that almost every other E and F series model has a cheaper VSRF version. I'll wait out for that

It's the only option.... Fmic is a must if ur serious about performance. Yes it sucks its $900 . The stock fmic is horrible though...
