The V2's have a cast mouth inlet which offers a smoother transition from flange to pipe, both pipes were redesigned in order to allow more clearance, the finish changed and the rear transition is significantly smoother

I would expect the same type of quality in my vrsf downpipes when I first bought them, yet I have to pay for new ones to receive such quality? Is there some trade in discount Tiago?

What? They have internet under bridges now I guess. If you think V2 improvements are worth a trade in you really need to try the coffee can mod. Best exhaust I've ever heard on a 335.


Seriously though product revisions happen all the time. Not sure why this is even being talked about after Tiago's response.

Lol actuator plug (golf tee) pull was first, cheapest, best sounding mod yet! Well I am kinda hooked on the BMS DCI sound now too

Are you having fitment issues? Do you often take the belly pan off to look at the finish on your current VRSF downpipes? If not, then why the eff would you want to go through the trouble of removing and installing a new set of DP's? Tiago offers the best bang for the buck downpipes on the market for this platform. He is continuously making already great parts better. Why on earth would you expect him to take your old downpipes back and give you a discount on an updated set? I would expect any enthusiast happy with their current parts to not whine when a new version comes out. Especially when it won't make any difference in power.

I know you are being sarcastic but this mentality is very real and has deterred us from offering new products as people have such unreasonable, outlandish and severe entitlement issues. What is the world coming to LOL.

thought i would give some input as i just installed a set for a local member .
back ground i bought a set for my own car v1 and fitment was less than desirable . installed and uninstalled several times returned for a second set and same problem . received refund from tiago no questions asked so props to him . i have installed at least 10 sets of dp's now and i must say the v2 set fit perfectly probably the best fitment of any pipes i have put in . this is only one set of the v2 i have put in so i hesitate to say all will fit this good but coming from someone who would have never suggested vrsf dp's to anyone due to my past experience these fit great mated to the flanges perfectly clearance was great and mated to the secondary perfect cant ask for more than that just for clarification i dont want anyone to think im knocking vrsf in any way i have bought several items from them and tiago has always been nothing but a stand up guy to deal with .

Great Response !

I will say "more Clearance" maybe worth the switch just replaced 02 sensors... very tight

How about better access to remove 02 sensors for v3 .... just a Thought

Thanks
