Review: VRSF M2 Catless Downpipe
There have been many people who have been wondering just how good the VRSF Catless downpipe for the M2 is, so I decided to partner up with VRSF and make a review of my experience with their product.
So, firstly, once I received the downpipe, I analyzed it inside and out to make sure the welds were good. All looked like really good work and the stainless steel was very solid with no imperfections. I decided to heat wrap the downpipe, as I decided not to opt for the optional ceramic coating. Installing the downpipe was very easy. With the help of a friend, I would say I got the old one out and the new one installed in less than an hour. The oxygen sensors were screwed into the threaded inserts with some copper anti-seize. Absolutely perfect fitment with the stock exhaust and turbo-side; the clamps snapped in and were tightened very nicely. As for the sound.... My god does this thing transform the car. Originally I was considering getting an aftermarket exhaust as my next mod, but I can wait quite a bit longer, as this current setup sounds amazing. Overall, I was VERY pleased with the quality of the downpipe. Welds were done great, the material is very solid, and the fitment was fantastic. I have attached some pictures of the installation as well as comparing the stock downpipe. Let me know if anyone has any questions! I will be making a Youtube video documenting stock cold start and revs vs with the catless downpipe installed and I will post the link on here once it is completed! My instagram is @Project_f87 for any of you interested in following the build. Had a great time working with Tiago@VRSF!

I can also say that this downpipe has transformed my car. Car sounds so much better with just a downpipe. Fitment and finish is also very good for the price.
