Downpipes on post 4/2011 X5M/X6M

[exfyvem]

Just went to order my ardesigns dp's and was told that the ardesigns downpipes dont fit on any X5/X6ms made after April 2011. Anybody have any downpipes on their new car?, and if so where from. Thanks

I was told the same thing by AR design. They say the lower connection on dp is a slip fitting instead of bolting up after 4/11 production date. I have asked other manufactures and they say otherwise. I am not sure what to order. I have akropovic evo system and had no issues, so DP shouldn't be a issue either. I believe DP for 550 are the same and am wondering if the 550 changed but not the x5m or x6m. Any input is appreciated.

Dude, just get the Akra Catless and call it a day..,

Impeccable welds, 3" taper, and no heat shield fitment issue!

I have downpipes and drive pretty hard. Ive put over 4000 miles and the DP's still look good. No cracks no problems. AR designs seem to have a nice build quality from the posted customer photos. Gintani makes quality DP's too....Or you can have downpipes made by a custom exhaust shop
