Active Autowerke DP's vs. AR design DP's

Bakeme521 · 04-23-2010, 12:27 PM

I have searched and I can't seem to find anyone who has the Active DP's. They are the same price as the AR DP's, Include the DP patch in the purchase, and also full 3 inch DP's.

Does anyone have the Active DP's? If so how do you like them?

Is something bad about the Active ones? Everyone and their mom seems to have the AR ones which makes me think no one likes the Active ones.

You also might want to consider the Macht Schnell downpipes... We've been getting some great responses from customers

JoosyJoos · 04-23-2010, 02:46 PM

Most people on these boards just aren't on the active train because their tune isn't very competitive with the PROcede and JB3.

Active makes great stuff. I have most of it on my car... I plan to get the down pipes eventually. There shouldnt be a siginficant difference... and if you PM Omar e90post has special pricing on the downpipes which is about 100 bucks cheaper than the website suggests. Plus you get the O2 sims.

I dont think anyone has written a review about them yet so you could be the first.

Seems like a relatively new item. AA makes quality products and has been in the business for quite awhile now. I don't think you can go wrong with either!

Bakeme521 · 04-23-2010, 05:54 PM

alright cool, thanks a lot for the info guys. I'm sure I'll get them in the near future.

OP, just buy AR downpipes. They are the best quality hands down.

No worries man, I see where you are going with the comparo. I was just saying you can't go wrong with AR. You won't be disappointed.

If they are the same price, I would go with the AR ones since they have a proven track record, but for some people label is everything and having AA Dps maybe more important...

Well a plus is the AA DP's come with the 02 simulator, I mean I know the sim isn't a major purchase but that is a plus. I also know AA makes good stuff, so I'm curious as to what they're like. I'm not hating on AR's. Just would like to know why no ones got AA's.

JoosyJoos · 04-24-2010, 07:45 PM

I plan on getting AA dp's eventually... just putting more priority on suspension tuning and sets of tires for the track right now.

Craig@SupremePower · 04-25-2010, 01:15 AM

I love my AR Design dp's!

ridin135 · 04-25-2010, 09:44 AM

AR or Mach Schnell I would never even consider AA's

Bimmer This · 04-25-2010, 02:16 PM

That for sure is a win! LOL

Brey335i · 04-25-2010, 03:09 PM

AR Design has a proven record of great power gains, fitment, and quality. Most people aren't willing to pass on that kind of deal, even if AA is well known and includes the sims. It's just human nature...

and AR Design has great customer support

Bakeme521 · 04-25-2010, 08:41 PM

Well I have to say thats good info to hear, I would still like to hear the opinion of someone who has them already.
