CHARGE Pipes for N55 Who uses em?

Fellas,

I just took delivery of my new M Sport 535.

I ordered the ER charge pipe from Mike @ N54 Tuning. Was wondering if any of you have experience with this product? Any noticeable difference? was searching for some info but couldnt find any.

Thanks for the input,

Kris

Do they work on our motors? As far as I know the intercooler piping is in a slightly different angle and location vs the 1 & 3 series.

Let us know what you find out!

**UPDATES**

Mike @ N54 Tuning advised that he did speak with ER about it and they stated that it "should" work.

I dont mind being the guinea pig for this one as the install charge is only 90 bucks. But they said if it doesnt work, they can refund the money or take care of the issue etc.

Will let you guys know once i take it in to get it installed.

Some updates,

the Pipe doesnt fit, the pipe it self works but the couplers and a few other things have to be reworked for the F10.

but i did get the JB Stage 1 installed, im currently on Map 1, But how do i change it to 4.3? Mike @ N54Tuning told me that i should data log the car first. I bought the USB cable as well. But i have no idea how to do it.

Any input?

Hey - can you describe some more detail about what needs to be reworked? Can you get some silicone couples and clamps to make it fit or does the pipe need to be reworked mechanically (ie cut and altered) to fit?

Thanks
