Which one would you buy??

rami335i · 07-20-2011, 11:34 PM

I am considering catless downpipes for my e92 335i. either new Active Autowerke or used AR design. both are same the price.
I know each one has bias to the one he has on his car, but i need some opinion from the experts here and those who have experienced both.
I have done some search and it seems that AR is a little easier to install (plz correct me if i am wrong). Performance wise they should be almost identical and last, i dont care about their resale value since m keeping them on the car for a long time.

Sometimes you have to go with the flow. I'd get the used AR's. You never know, you might want to sell them someday. If it were between new AA's and new AR's, I'd suggest the AA's and pocket the savings.

I have AA's fitment was good and workmanship looked good also. I like them, I hear they are similar.

Both are good, but price being equal get the AR's. They are a cut above in my opinion. Spot-on fit and very solid construction. You will never hear of issues with them and when it is time for you to sell them you will still get a pretty penny.
