N54 UUC Downpipes (DP-N54)

Anyone have experience with these? Seems like a great deal for $350

This is $9 less than our kit which is arguably the most proven/popular downpipe solution available. Our downpipe offers cast flanges and is 3" from head to toe whereas these neck down very early. Add the fact that we offer a lifetime guarantee against fitment and defects on every product we sell. N54 downpipes are very difficult to fit correctly with the limited room and even more difficult to fabricate and test. The install generally takes 3 hours so if fitment doesn't work out you're out the $250-400 and you now need to purchase a set that fits.

Why risk it.

I'll have to second what Tiago said. While UUC is a great company and makes great products, those are NOT UUC downpipes! They are Rennestil, sold by UUC. And they look much more restrictive than the VRSF ones. I have VRSF DPs on both my N54 and N55 and they work perfectly!
