I've been looking at the VRSF catless downpipe and it seems to be a popular one with a great sound to it. I've also seen Fabspeed, Wagner, and ER downpipes, and they all look like great options, but the VRSF got it beat on price. I'm willing to pay a premium for a better downpipe, but I feel like the variance between them is minimal, and from what I've heard the VRSF sounds the nicest, but that's just from videos. I've been looking at all of these and I'm wondering which is the best in terms of sound and performance I suppose as well (although the performance is probably identical). I have an MPE as well.

Get one with brackets that mount to the transmission just like on the OEM. They all sound the same. It's a pipe.

Vrsf is perfect fitment, in my mind they all sound the same

You'll be very happy with vrsf

I have a catless AA downpipe for n55 m2 available if interested

Nioh is absolutely correct. The major differentiating factor in downpipes is the existence of the bracket. You're going to be putting a lot more stress on the exhaust if you get a DP without the bracket.

I went with AA namely because i bought the AA midpipe too and I could source it from x-ph without tax and shipping. I think the only real way to get "more" performance out of a down pipe would be ceramic coating or heat protection but to my knowledge their all mostly the same. I've never met anyone who complained about VRSF and that was my second choice
