FTP Charge pipe review

This is my story

I ordered VRFS Race IC with ER CP form my Bmw M235i Xdrive. The ER CP did not fit at all.
I had to send it back.
So I heard about FTP Motorsport from Taiwan. I made contact with Kayo their CEO. He was quick to answer all my questions. I ordered the CP and paid on Friday. The package was sent on Monday and I had it at home on Wednesday and installed it today.

Quality: Arrived well packaged. Nice quality welds and clean bends.
All hardwere included even a new throttle body clip.
Box marked with FRAGILE.

Fitment: Great. I had the CP installed today by a shop.
Everything fit well and there were no issues. Although space was tight up there but when fitted it was perfect.

CP is a a litle bit dusty on the pic. But IRL this is a real quality piece.

Maybe your fit problems came from manual vs. automatic editions of the charge pipe; they are different depending on the trans. What was the cost for these?

I ordered for automatic and xdrive and still it did not fit on the IC.
The inlet was to small.

I googled and saw many had fitment problems with their CP.
Mine didnt fit on the IC but stock CP did fit and the FTP did fit.

Looking good. Never heard of these but glad that it all worked out for you.
