Any dynos?

Its not that hard to install at all.

The XI models I treat just like the N54 ones. Prop up the engine, blow the 6 subframe bolts out and the 4 motor mount bolts and just let the subframe hang...get right in there, pull the motormount bracket and its out.

I did most of the beta testing for the AR design one and I can get it in the car within an hour and a half, a little less with a I model.

Yeah the one we did earlier this week took a little over and hour to actually install. My tech was just being overly cautious the 1st one he did. He did intercooler, charge pipe, downpipes in 4 hours and put on a 135 so I'd say he has the hang of it now.

Haven't gotten to do a before and after on the n55 just yet. We just installed the Ets downpipes in our 335is and will dyno after as well.

There is a catted version of the iCarbon SM-55's that should be good for CA.

Visibly it is a catted piece and it will pass the sniffer.

vids or dynos?

Where can I get this downpipe? I've googled it and I can't find any vendors that have it.

My AR DP took about 2 hours using rhino ramps and jacks...
