Has anyone put High Fl HJS HD 200cpsi on these downpipes and PASSED inspection in USA..
I'm reading the spec sheet on these and they seem to have the same converion/cleaning rate as regular 400 cell ones but I'd like to get some evidence ..

Got the 300 cell.

Build quality was great. Fitment was spot on.
Fun factor was very similar to the Weistec catless pipes I had prior to swapping. Same aggressive sound result (just less turbo spool noise). Very happy with this product.

They texted order updates and made sure you knew what you were getting. Package came properly packed.

Thanks for the honest review. Does the 300 Cell still require a tune to rid the CEL? Why did you swap out the Weistec? Thanks.

I'm in an emissions O2-ready state and was tired of swapping out pipes to get inspected and then swapping once again.(I've done this with my (3) cars prior and it's just getting tedious). Weistec were great but did not offer the high flow like these. Tone is almost similar and I'm catted now so both of these factors checked my boxes.

300CELL does not trigger any CEL lights.

Can't speak for this instance, but lots of manufacturers have rules around vendor pricing (MAP, fixed prices, etc). Not publicly posting their sale prices can help vendors avoid getting in trouble with the manufacturer.

Shardul, can you PM me a quote for GESI catted downpipes for a 2014 W212 w/ and w/o heatshields?

Question for Shardul,

If i was to get a RennTech tune, would that throw a CEL with it or does it throw a CEL or in other words, is renntech tune compatible with this product?

Renntech tunes are emmisions compliant and built to not trigger CEL.

I have the Renntech intermediate and the 300cell DPs...every now and then i'll hit a CEL for heat exchange on o2 but it cycles away just fine- I had may inspections and it passed.

[QUOTE=shardul;7897667]I can get the RS ones at a discount. I have sold a few sets before. Most of their items are made to order and they will drop ship to customer.

To answer op questions


Quality? Very good
Sound? 15% louder than stock
Performance? Depends on ECU calibration etc
Fitment? Very good

Attached is a pic of a catless RS set I sold a month ago


Can I get a quote on these

What's the power increase with the DP's and would one need an ECU tune to install a set?

DP without cats will throw a code and will need a tune to 'hide' that CEL.

DP's with cats, would I still need a tune?
Would I still gain any performance without a tune and how much?

Pretty sure this is a RedStar thread. How is this relevant?

I'd recommend starting your own thread to keep the topic tidy.
