2015 BMW 320i Catless Downpipe Fitment Issues

Hi Everyone,

I finally got around to installing my catless downpipe from VRSF. Long story short, everything fit well on the turbo side. The issues started when connecting the dp to the mid pipe. The downpipe slid in fine, but it didn't go all the way in. The stock one goes in no problems. I'm thinking that the mid pipe side is too long.

I'm thinking that cutting it to size will make it fit just fine. Should I do that or inquire to VRSF about a return/fix?

I would inquire with VRSF before making any modifications. If you make any modifications, and it still doesn't work, VRSF will leave you out to dry, ask me how I know...

My advice: don't bother with them, just get a refund and go with a brand that has fewer complaints about fitment, like ER.

That's definitely the smart thing to do. I actually ended up cutting it because I was so convinced that it would fit. Fortunately, it worked out. The dp fits without leaks or issues now!

It was well worth the hassle. The car sounds so good!
