Talking VRSF N55 Catless Downpipes 4" Model. New Design

VRSF have revised their first N55 4" catless downpipe model. The new design offers a smooth non-dented taper down to normal size to prevent turbulence/decrease flow.

The stock one is dented. If you do not make the downpipe dented, it will not fit.
So you either need to dent the downpipe or you need to taper it down at the end so it fits correctly.

Garage List
Every 4" downpipe (late 335i, all 235i and 435i) that are currently offered have a dent in it in order to clear a hose that's present above the downpipe. Some downpipes place a logo on the dent, others don't show them in pictures. This is currently the only 4" downpipe that doesn't require a dent to be installed on the models listed above which should improve flow a bit.

We're also going to offer free ceramic coating services ($80 value) on our N55 downpipes

Oh NICE!
If you could make a 200 or 400 cell cat version, I'd sign up right now!

I don"t see any transmission mount bracketry. Maybe the previous model didn't have this either or the pics just don't show it.

We'll definitely consider a catted option in the future as there should be room for it but it's very hard to guarantee a CEL free option with race cats and they tend to eliminate most of the power gains from the removal of the cat.

We've sold thousands of downpipes for the N54 model, all without brackets and without any long term problems. The F30 exhaust contains a couple extra support mounts than the N54, transmission brackets aren't required.

Thanks. I know the brackets aren't required, was just curious.

I guess dp will add like 15hp, intercooler just for lower temp, cp just for safety.
