whats up all,

so, ive been looking and looking for downpipe and I finally decided to pull the trigger on vrsf downpipe. I was worried about having possible drone and the noise might be little too much. I found the shop called Chameleon in Bohemia that was able to do the same day installation. This guy Manny really took care of me n the car. Price was unbelievable as well. Upon installation, immediately I felt the difference in terms of power n sound. I regret for not doing it a lot sooner. I would highly recommend VRSF DP and CHAMELEON SHOP to anyone with tune thats looking to get DP.

Here are the mods i did in order:

intake
Tune
Downpipe
Exhaust
Fmic
Cp

I saw a huge diff with the dp and tune. I haven't pushed my car since I got the fmic and it's snowing up here in the north so not sure on the fmic yet. Maybe someone else can chime in on it.

anyone could help me with number?

[E46toE90]

Idk about dyno numbers.

But map 2 will give you a constant level of boost.

Map 5 always changes. It's an auto learning map. I run map 5 with e85 if not I stick to map 2.

Try both. Hijack boost gauge and watch boost levels.

Don't forget between maps you should do a couple pulls. Changing maps 5 times in a day is not how your suppose to do it.

I looked up that shop not much bmw being worked on but legit shop I might pull the trigger. Never bought a down pipe due to price quotes of install thanks

yeh man. I think once u install dp, i'm pretty sure u won't look back. Thx for your tip. I hate E85. every time i put e85, I get long crank n it disappears when i don't lol

[practice89]

Not to thread jack but is it normal to get long cranks with DPs? My cranks always range from under 1~3 seconds.
