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.

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.

I strongly recommend you to be more careful when gambling then, because even by looking at pictures, you can see that heatshielded version has slightly different shape and pipe diameter.
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 ✌🏻

Yeah… you keep deflecting and saying shielded. I’m not looking at those nor do I care. I pulled up the vendors you listed and it only confirmed EXACTLY what I’m talking about. Go look at the support brace on the primaries that bolt to the head. Then look at yours and MAD fatboy. I literally had them in my hands when I installed them prior to you “releasing” them the way your support brace is and yours is the only one of any of the vendors (if they even had them &#128514 that matched identically. Now I wonder why that would be? Probably because none of your products that I’ve seen thus far have any ingenuity or originality to them. They’re all 3D scanned copy and pasted, including the biggest scam of manifolds I’ve seen in my life. 😂 I gave you a warning last week when you posted your scam of an expansion tank drip pan and told you that these cars are now in the hands of people that don’t throw their wallet at stuff and you’ve been called out on it. I suggest you get your act together and refrain from posting like an immature brat with your ✌️ signs and bring something worthwhile to the table. Or keep putting EGT bungs at the bottom of secondaries downstream to show how clueless of an “engineer” you are. Oh btw, I’m not going anywhere so no peace signs from me. I’ll be seeing you around and making sure people don’t fall into the con of a business you’re “developing”. That goes for here and the M5 groups already seen you posting in.

If so, please provide where did LEVEL copy CCP and their inlet manifolds for F90.
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 ✌🏻

No reason to start new. Please paste your data sheet of stock data and then your bench numbers. Because they’re on the car doesn’t mean they add any value whatsoever. That car is fully built too to bottom with aftermarket turbos that already outflow the stock turbo, so nothing you can say will validate your manifolds unless you show a Dyno run on the same car (or even stock) with stock manifolds and then with yours on the same exact car and conditions.

Please first provide whom did LEVEL copy to make those products. You are making too many accusations in the first place.

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.

I bought my “mad/level 1” dps from Alibaba and… they look exactly the same for less than half the price 💀

Fits perfectly and welds look great 🙃
