What DP for XI that's reasonably priced and no fitment issues

don_r6 · 09-23-2011, 03:24 PM

Long story short... my car is at the dealer now. I'm getting a ton of work done and one of the work is replacing my wastegates. Since they have to uninstall the oem dp, I was thinking about getting an aftermarket dp. I haven't done much research on the DPs, but I do recall some people having fitment issues with the XI. I'd like to know which DPs are reasonably priced and don't have any fitment issues with the XI?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thx.

VK downpipes fit on the xis and are priced at $300 on their site.. might be worth checking out. No personal experience though, I've just been eyeing those DPs for a while.

I think they are out of business. I just tried calling them.

If you're looking for a set of downpipes I would recommend for you to check out AR Design. AR design does have a downpipe available for the 335xi and do fit perfectly!!

You have two choice:

AR xi-specific dowpipes
UR xi-specific downpipes

Both fit perfectly. Search for a used one if you can and save some money.

ar design makes a great quality downpipe specifically for an xi vehicle. Shoot me a PM or email if you have any questions.

Just had my Vishnu installed and the fitment was spot on and sounds awesome!

When someone manufactures a pair of N54 downpips WITH cats on, then I'll buy them.

AR is catless, UR is well I don't know if they fit with the cats ?

UR do they not have some sort of issue with rust or something ?

Anyway, I need to pass the inspections with no hickups - catless is not going to work...

what about inspection? I'm currently running COBB. If I get a catless dp, then can Cobb stage 2 override the fault?

AR catted will not fit any x-drive car, or at least not 3-series (I think 535xi works, but not 335xi E92 anyway).
