Any word on production? Just curious.

Mtxzptlk · 06-25-2013, 05:34 PM

Werd is production has started on the 12th?

Production cycle lasts 30 days...

Getting antsy are we? lol

E92M3Pilot · 06-25-2013, 05:56 PM

I wonder how difficult it is to swapping the resonators and Cats once DKF section 1 is installed? I hope it doesn't require to take down the whole exhaust every time. Not that I would be changing them day to day.

Yes

Steenos · 06-25-2013, 08:31 PM

Very. Paid and don't have product so it's easy to get antsy!

inTgr8r · 06-25-2013, 09:04 PM

Lol... Me too.
Had the test kit on my car & had to give it back.

Mtxzptlk · 06-26-2013, 04:15 PM

Picked up used, low-mile SS V2 headers.

I actually welcome the wait, gives the wallet time to catch its breath. lol

Now, I am getting kinda antsy. =D

How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

It came out to around $1800. Sure beats ponying at least $2700 for a new set.

And they are V2's which you should bolt up to the DKF section 1.

I believe v1's require a custom fitted section 1 since they do not fit to oem spec section 1 pipes. So am quite fortunate to pick this up.

Which brings up the question: SS V1 not compatible with DKF section 1?

You guys should watch the M3 forums. you never know what goes up for sale in their FS sections. I currently see Euro and a few CSL headers available.

No. I had CP build me a custom section 1 out of a Supersprint V1 connecting pipe. CP added some HJS cats and O2 sensor bungs.

I'm trying to decide which route I want to take.

Euro = Nice because they are cheap but they are used.
AA = Nice, New and a decent price.
Supersprint = Would have to get used to get the price I want.
Fabspeed = Good price.

So many choices.

Based on what I've read, people have said good things about Fabspeed (good balance of $$ spent and performance); Same price range as used CSL Headers.

I haven't read much about AA

Supersprint, (well documented)

If all efforts fail to acquire used SS, or budget is a priority, then go Euro.

+1 on the getting Antsy! Ready to try out that straight pipe!

Steenos · 06-30-2013, 11:13 AM

At least I don't have to buy headers yet.

Used Euros, Then ceramic cote. Good as new and cheaper too.

Who might I be able to talk to about pricing for an s-pipe/section 1 now that the GB has passed? I can't seem to find a website or anything for DKF, nor have I seen non-GB pricing anywhere.

inTgr8r · 06-30-2013, 09:25 PM

Contact DKF by email.
Often with production runs like this GB there are some overruns.
Only DKF can say for sure though.

dkfperformance at gmail dot com

NeoGeo · 07-04-2013, 07:59 PM

Any news on how production is going... getting a little impatient as well. A short update would be nice.

inTgr8r · 07-05-2013, 06:15 AM

Latest feedback is everything is on schedule to complete the production phase within the 30 days planned.
DKF is in constant contact with the fabricator and everything is going smooth.
After that we have the final 30 day phase for finishing (polishing, coating etc) and shipping.
...so we're looking roughly at mid-August all together.

I know it seems like a long time but we have to remember this is a custom fabrication piece that we're getting.
Setting up a production run for something like this is an involved process.

I'm getting anxious too though, especially since I have run the test piece on my car for a while & had to take it off & ship back.

Also,,,,
good news on the next piece coming.
DKF is working out the final details on the X-Pipe section and will be making some changes from the previous piece (in the threads Chris posted)

The new X-pipe will now be adaptable to any OE fitment rear muffler.
So if you love those RPI's for example..... you will now be able to use them.
Also.... It will be adaptable at the front end to the OE section 1, for those that didnt get in on this GB.

Once this current GB is complete there will be a new one started for the rear section very soon after,

LOTS more DKF goodies coming guys

What is the source of delay? When I asked before making payment earlier in this thread, you said that early July was the target and that DKF was hoping to do much better? I understand that these things can take more time than expected, but it's frustrating to hear that all's going well when it's clear that the schedule has slipped. I was really hoping to get this installed before August as I will be without a second car for a while at the end of this month.
