Never..... in a million years would I spend that much on downpipes.

It would be cheaper to have a custom exhaust builder make you a set, and ceramic coat them.... and install them.

Wait a year or so, there will be a dozen manufacturers on the market selling a catless set for $500, and a catted set for around $1000

For what it is worth, VSRF has a good reputation in my many of the N54/55 crowd. I think it may be the best option if we find they fit for sure.

Right now, we do know that the ARM pipes do fit the M50i and are very reasonably priced. The downside is that there is only one downpipe mounting bracket versus stock with 2. Does that make a difference? I am not sure I have a valid opinion yet.
Am I crazy for wanting it louder? haha
once the car warms up it, its not as loud and not that many pops from the exhaust
