iCarbon N54 Downpipes?

I'm looking to get iCarbon N54 downpipes for 335i. I can't seem to find a vendor/online store that sells them. Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Why not get ARs? There is a reason why the most publicized modding forum for the E9x doesn't have members using it? It should tell you something. Go AR or go home!

Not really, AR's are more popular although they are a on the expensive side. We'll be launching a less expensive 3" downpipe solution in the next few days

Full 3", SS design and about half the cost of the other guys.

I've installed iCarbons on a friend's 335i. No problems with fitment or quality. Great price too.

You guys should be aware that iCarbon as a company is MIA at the moment. At this point of time, communication via email, and their phone lines have been disconnected and you guys can verify this for yourselves.

On the other hand, AR design has been with the community since day one and were one of the first to introduce a 3" downpipe for the N54. They've been extremely popular in the community due to their superb fit and of course proven performance.

CP-E! Quality and fitment is amazing. 3" cast belmouth by the turbo, made in usa and lifetime warranty and at 579 bucks, its a no brainer.

AR downpipes have been in use by members for years and years and I haven't heard any horror stories yet. They're also just a phone call away. There's a reason most people switch to AR and not the other way.

Pretty sure AR's are made in-house which could explain their step up in price vs some of the other pipes out there... granted, this would also explain how they're know for superior quality and performance.

I had AP's on mine and had no issues at all. Contact Rob at Vishnu and they will hook you up with them!
