i wud honestly choose ASR any day over RPI.... 3 inches pipe through out w/ great built quality, i've compared em side by side and ASR def has a better built quality but then again it is more expensive also...

3 inch piping doesn't necessarily equate to power gains. It's about Exhaust Gas Velocity (EGT) and I believe that's why RPI decided to go with a slightly smaller diameter.

I have not seen an ASR system in person so I can't comment about comparing the two in terms of build quality but my RPI system is awesome. What exactly were you comparing? What I can say (based on what I've seen on M5 Forums) is that RPI is cheaper in price, has the same power gains from dynos reported by members, and will be delivered within a week as opposed to over half a year / never for ASR
just wondering where you get your hartge front lip from ?

Doorow, world wide (like Canada) I'm not sure. You may want to check out Hartge's website (http://www.hartge.de/) and see if they have a distributor in Canada? The last I heard, they no longer import into the US. I got mine used via a local shop I use here in California. I do believe there are replica hartge front lips as well that sometimes show up on Ebay.

Yeah, I would go for the replicas, especially for lips (as long as the fitment works). Too many accidents with the lips and doesn't make sense to spend a fortune on them in my opinion.
