This thing sounds great. Anyone have a price on the catless downpipes? Last time I spoke with Cory, these were not available in the US yet.

BTW, Palladium FTMFW!!

Renntech offers them with or without the cats. Pricy as hell though. Most likely my next mod but I will tell you what...a $150 res delete gives a hell of a bark within itself.

Everybody else wants $1500-$2k for Catless DP's for the V12 BITURBO's I got it done for $500 out the door 3" SS pipes, not rocket science fellas... This mod adds 30 rwhp thru ENTIRE rpm band, also quickens throttle response as Turbs hate back pressure & spool faster w/out cats, oem cats are directly behind turbs, remove them = best bang for buck mod EVARRR...

Very interested. But your in Cali too...isn't it a pain with the emissions stuff? I was thinking that when I do go this way I will keep the cats.

Renntech wants over 4k for these with the cats I believe...

EZ $250 swap to reinstall my hi-flow 300 cell cats that FULLY passed stringent CA smog last year + only need to SMOG every 3 years, & new law is passing in CA where NO more sniffer tests for obdII cars just will chk if cars ECU says OK, which can be tricked w/O2 extenders like mine w/Tuning tweek

Where did you get the work done. Its completely redonkulous what companies are charging for the pipe. I know most are providing high flo cats but how much are the cats by themselves.

I saw that MHP has a turbo back full system for 5K.

I am sure any capable muffler shop can get them made

sounds good but we all know this mod gives zero hp. i did a primary catdelete on my 08 M3 and it did wonders. but on the new m157 they're almost no gains in hp, which is surprising.

ZERO comparo to N/A vehicles Turbo's HATE back pressure, you will easily see 30 rwp 30 rwtq on v12 biturbo, I know the new V8 biturbo benefits as well etc not 100% on if it's as much as old m275..

It's a US thing. Oh and your steering wheel is on the wrong side of your car.

That has to be awkward.

On the contrary, that is what makes us true 'Brits'. Every country drives on the left with the exception of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. We stick solemnly to what we have. We refused to join the Euro currency (€) because we don't follow the crowd. We love our pounds (£). We stand out better and we love our tradition to the core. We are great people. We will never compromise. Never!!!!!!!!!
