We carry both.

In terms of fitment, reliability, sound and power it will be the same

VRSF is offered in standard ceramic coated finish
Wagner has a better (cleaner) overall finish

Wagner is a great choice, both for the DP and the FMIC. Have you also looked at ER?

Depends on what you are looking for in the DP.

Wagner as far as DP is most popular because of the catted option.

But if you are going catless VRSF takes care of it no problem.

With regards to FMIC the Wagner EVO 2 Comp is one of the best, ER is another good one.

Garage List
We offer a ceramic coating free of charge (normally a $70 option) vs the Wagner's polished finish which costs substantially less.

If you're looking for a catless solution, our downpipe will offer smoother flow with less turbulence in comparison to the Wagner. Their catless downpipes flare out to almost 4.5" and then reduce back down to 3" even though there is no cat in place.

This creates more turbulence in comparison to an even diameter pipe.

Hi Tiago - how would one observe/notice this turbulence you're referring to?
