They wouldn't release info on the cat converter, just stating that it's proprietary and it's available for sale for a higher price. I'm thinking.. Chinese cat converter.
I did order the dp so I'll check when it arrives. |

I spoke with the CEO today. We had a bit long chitchat. Their pipes are made in Romania, they also unlock ECUs and can get a bm3 tunes but you have to ship it to them which I really don't wanna do. I spoke with my buddy tho I think I'll go with a different brand that will fit better than rvg

How much are you all paying for downpipes install? I was quoted $3800 from a bmw specialist
shop, stating that they have to drop the subframe, and 2 days work. That seems outrageous. |

You should find a different dealership! Mine quoted me 2.5k before taxes which isn't great but I'd rather be safe than sorry

The heat shield coated pipes are off getting 1800F ceramic coating. Hopefully they fit. I was assured they are tested before going out. |

They might have corrected their design issue after the incident my friend had with their catted ones. Good luck my friend! Keep us posted |

The pipes are still awaiting heat coating. The guy was like like they'll be ready in 3 days then I drop them off and 3 days later he is saying he has to order more material...so I should have them back next week and then the following for the install (and tune).

My shop had to make custom brackets to make the mounting points work. The m850 may have slightly different brackets but I doubt it. I think RVG is just incompetent. Before I ordered I confirmed that this is for a m850 and I heard they had issues with fit in the past and I was assured that they would fit, that every unit is tested in a jig. Pure lies so yeah, stay away.
