and to reiterate, they are absolutely not telling the truth if they say they will help, solve, or diagnose with any correctness. They never answered me, reached out, offered to correct, didn’t ship on time and they were rude.
A continued example of broker resellers with poor service. Do your research on this company and their “service”.
This is the type of company that makes me waste my time writing to save others from a poor experience. Plenty of resellers selling the same products, shop around. No need to support them when so many others will work for their paychecks.
and if you need any pics of the pile of junk and the issues, pm me.

Seeing as the picture above is mine, for which I paid full retail and shipping to receive, after I had installed everything in it personally myself without issue, and between myself and my wife continue to daily drive the car since install on the above pictured parts without issue, I'm going to have to disagree with you.
I don't install junk parts. See my posts in the PLM group buy thread if you want to see my tolerance for junk.
What you see is exactly what you get.
pictures of the incompatibility are on this site. Picture of the deformation on the printed parts are on this site. Pictures of the problems are on this site.
so while it may work for you it will not work for everyone AND WHEN you have a problem you will get no support, unless of course you are a sponsored shill, which I am not alleging.
this is only about vrp and their junk, please take no offense unless you work for and are speaking on their behalf. I would expect you to be clear about that, which I do believe you are by saying you paid retail.
you can be a happy customer while I am not. I am just educating the public of an outcome different than yours with the ability to provide data, measurements and pictures.
so, please feel free not to argue with my post unless you have data suggesting the item I received being sold for my car fits without issue and that vrp tried to fix the problem.

I take great offense as you're ranting about parts on MY PICTURE not fitting when I'm saying otherwise.
I've purchased more than a few parts for this car and a few others with little issue.
I've also had ZERO issue getting help and support, such as install instructions, if I asked for it. Hell, I got a response at 6 am his time on a Saturday. SATURDAY!! Let that sink in for a second, and also let it sink in I was not expecting a response or support until Monday. Between his email and pm via social media, he is easily accessible and actively responds.
Besides him using my picture, which I allowed after tagging him in it, he doesn't know me nor am I sponsored by ANYONE.
As for educating the masses, other than ranting you're not showing us anything other than a wall of words without proof of bad quality. My pic has a couple of those printed parts. So is your issue with the pics on his site or with actual parts in your possession? Have you actually, and clearly, communicated your issue with VRP?
I have these as well, I have had no issues with them on my car. Installation was easy, straight forward and parts fit as expected. This is on a 2014 e63.

hey man if you have the pipes and you are not using them , I’m willing to buy them off you . PM a price of your interested .
Also VRP please produce a set of intakes for this platform at a fair market price , I can’t stand how my friends with 205 C63s picked up carbon fiber sets for the same price as black boost is selling there’s . This engine has been out since 2012 that’s nearly 9 years now and we have two companies to only choose from .

Would love to know who you are. The parts fit w207, w212, and w218 only and it is also advertised ONLY for M278. a few customers have made them work on M157. Sometimes people order them for their GLS63. If your model isnt listed and you order it, im not sure what you want me to to do. We do accept returns, so if you had orderd for the wrong model you could send it back. if you ordered for the wrong engine you could send it back.
We manufacture these in house. So you cant get them anywhere else..
We have sold exactly 71 M278 tube sets, and 23 M156 kits. Out of 84 kits I have you and maybe 2 other people that ordered for the wrong model having issues.
Send us another email Im happy to help you figure it out.
Here is a post in another thread involving baltistyle and another rebuttal from a customer that had no issues. Still willing to help you work through your issue. (given than you have a 13 wagon, which is an S212 and is not listed in the compatibility list)
Yeah you can use them
I actually have been debating getting red ones I have a few other things I need todo before getting them but
you can post and use
My name is
mike
EVERYONE be careful as these tubes are very poorly designed and the sellers will disappear if you claim an issue, then they will stalk your posts trying to discredit you. If anyone would like pics of the crap they sold me, pm me and Ill save you the money. A slightly more attractive engine bay is not worth the harm VRP will cause to your car with poorly fitting and meltable products.
Hello, so I'm running into an issue when installing the intake tubes, the drivers side intake scoop is hitting the AC charge port, the passenger side fits fine. Anyone else run into this. Any guidance would be awesome. . My car is a 2017 E550 Coupe.
Very interesting read. Recently, I had installed some aftermarket motor mounts with shall we say...."less than stellar" results? The issue and cause of failure of the fancy motor mounts was heat...more so, heat "soak" after a long drive the materials were unable to cool down and effectively melted the silicone in the mounts. I can see the exact same issue here as the caloric value of the Al is far higher than that of the cloth material in the OE tubes.
