I never heard of them to be honest, why are you considering this brand vs the more proven option already available?

Was just curious honestly, they've got the new coolant reservoir drip pan, and was thinking about just doing a combo buy. If there's no useful info probably just gonna get the MAD set.

Very Reasonable price for the downpipe set and the 3.5 to 3.0” taper on the primaries is better than others that immediately taper to 3.0, though not as good as the few that stay 3.5 almost to the end of the primaries.

Have you installed them though? That's my thing like looks good on paper but looking if anyone has any actual experience with them.

They look like they 3D scanned MAD downpipes and marked them up advertised as something else. 😂. As well as the other products being scanned models of other company’s products.

From what I know MAD doesn’t sell heatshielded downpipes, so your theory doesn’t really work 😉

You have shielded and unshielded, so it’s not hard to put the shielding over them and call it new. I have MAD downpipes and everything about the unshielded match theirs and they’ve been around a lot longer. So yeah, I’m not a gambling man, but I’d bet on that any day of the week.

You also may check and see that Active Autowerke, VRSF, RK Tunes for example all look kind of similar in terms of S63 downpipes. Does this mean that they copied MAD? I don’t this so. Or maybe MAD copied them…? Peace ✌🏻 |

BTW, the only inlet manifolds that are actually have better performance than OEM. Not to mention the world record 1/4 mile F90 was equipped with them. Take your time ✌🏻 https://1evel.us/products/f90-m5-f9x...lant-catch-pan https://1evel.us/products/intake-manifold-f90-m5-f9x-m8 |

Whoever actually did all the prototyping work to make the first set of downpipes for these cars could not patent them so it is Ok to copy them and probably some of the cheaper downpipes that followed are copies. At least they are now priced where they should be — at around $600 rather than $1800 or more.
As for heat shielding, other makers of downpipes for the F90 use heat shielding that looks identical to what these use. It would not surprise me at all if these are copies of other pipes. But that does not mean they are bad or won’t add power or that you should not buy them. |
