Who here has installed aftermarket DP's on their N54 E60? Im looking at VRSF for $400 but I am not sure I want to install them myself. Word on the streets is that it is a royal pain on a E60, this is a RWD car. How many hours have you guys been charged for install?

I have DR Euro downpipes. They are E60 specific and fit fine. Still a pain to install.

How long did it take you to do it yourself? Any special tools besides O2 sensor wrench? Looking back would you just pay someone?

If you don't have a lift, pay someone.

I got VRSF perfect fit but i had shop do it it took him 2 almost 2.5hrs without a lift it will be hard other than that the mechanic told me its not that hard i watched him do it and not as bad as some people say it is if you got the correct tools and Lift you r good to go.
