I've been looking for some as well. It's been a while.

 

I wonder how long the wait is from AR? 6 months LOL

Anyone getting rid of theres? Selling there car?

 

I called AR again, lol they told me they now "fired" another builder, do these guys have a lame board of shit to say... Hes like we are not manufacturing for 6 months now. Meanwhile last week, the other guy who works there in the same office said we'll have stock in 2 weeks? These guys driving me nuts.

Anyone parting there car and getting rid of there downpipes for a 535xi?

 

these downpipes are rare loll

 

Lol. Are they worth it man? I need an opinion since you have them on? Haha I heard em on my friends 335 they sound great and improved his power gains descently.

AR can't get there story straight. By the time they will be available Ill want to sell my car! ha

 

Getting downpipes is somewhat pointless unless you have an aftermarket exhaust with like atleast 3" tubing right? Maybe someone more knowledgeable can clarify, I've been wondering this.

 

Definitely accurate but a downpipe on a stock exhaust still gives nice gains. With exhaust and programming a CHIP you can probably get a 60HP gain. I think catless downpipe programmed on a flash map can give 25-35HP? Exhaust cuts all those CATS out. (Someone can interject if I am inaccurate)

 

these ar designs catless dp's are the best mod I have done to my car. I am actually going into a shop tomorrow to have measurement taken for a custom exhaust system. Cant wait

 

I believe no exhaust is needed for dp gains. Stock down pipes are a big part of the problem . Quicker spooling turbos for the win.

 

I keep thinking about exhaust but everyone I hear sounds like shit, I heard a remus on a 545i i didn't love it, i heard a dinan it was so much $$ it wasnt that great, Im stuck on the exhaust. I like an aggressive sound past 3000 RPMS but would like to be quiet while accelearting in lightly. Its a tough in between. But when I start my 535 it doesnt even sound like its on. My old exhaust on my subaru i got tickets driving around at night, not going that rout again. I just havent heard that many 535's with exhaust.

I called modbargains an was able to get the downpipes! Going to take 4 weeks so YA F'ing HOO. You guys convinced me with your happy aftermath after installation. lol downpipes are a solid upgrade. Stock exhaust just restricts some air flow with the DP
