Downpipe options; Both dp for only $598?
Hey guys,
So I ve been shopping around for decent downpipes. I want to run primary catted+secondary catless cause I don't want too much raspy sound. So far it seems Armytrix and Evolution Racewerks are within the budget i m willing to spend. Then some one told me Mad-Us selling both downpipes for just $598. That price seems too good to be true so I m worried about the quality and result it delivers. Here's the link https://mad-us.com/mad-bmw-f90-m5-downpipes-s63r/ Has anybody tried their product before?Will primary catted lose a lot of power compared to catless? Any insight shared would be much appreciated. |

Can’t beat the price and all reports are they fit fine. I installed MAD primaries to CTS secondaries without issue. I know of another member who installed MAD secondaries to FI primaries. And there are others who reported no issues with MAD pipes.

I have the secondaries installed. Quality looked good and no issues so far. Sounds a lot better than stock. Not sure what the big pricing difference could be from welded piping.

You'd expect with "R&D" times fractions of what they used to be that cost would be driven down, not the case. Kinda like a turbo kit for an R8 or something- very little piping, etc. and cost $50k. SMH. |

BTW... Shipped your primaries out and will send the secondary as soon as they are back in stock.

Sorry for my ignorance. But is there much difference in sound with just secondary or primary versus both together? Just sold my E63s ED1 and am looking for a nice F90 M5. Am lurking around for what to do tuning wise.

I have the Mad secondaries. No primaries or exhaust yet. Sound is noticeablely louder and deeper which is awesome. However, my dragy 1/4 times are a tad bit slower with just these in and I have Racechip. Maybe with the primaries to complement it, it should be better. I don't mind the small drop in 1/4 times since I'm not always racing. But I'm I'm always driving so I like the deep sound and you can't beat the price.
