If you have more than 100k expect to pay close to 10k because they are gonna give you a new engine they aren’t going to fix the seals BMW sells brand new n63 engines for $5500

Always a fan of your work and your ride. This vid left me a little empty on a few steps which surprised me. I wish you had footage under the car where the factory clamps are connecting downpipes to the rest of the exhaust. Also those two 11mm nuts you removed how did you get them off the perch where the studs were. You mentioned dropping your exhaust and 6 bolts…what ones are they? I think I have them located but wanted to make sure.

Hi Splitt Mods, I noticed that for the o2 sensors on the ARM Down pipes, you didn't put the heat shield cup back on. Has that given you any problems with the sensors? Also, what did you do for the CEL after installing the ARM down pipe? Thanks in advance.

Read your manual on your heat gun, if I'm correct the reading basically does a cone shape shooting out from the gun. The Lazer is just for aim. The greater the distance the bigger the cone and the bigger area you're reading. With my understanding and the distance I perceived you were away from the object I'm thinking you might be reading some of the plastic. I have also seen where they have trouble with shiny surfaces

Kevin Kalil make sure you clamps are tight enough between the downpipes and exhaust. You will have more odor without the cats, but inside smell should be minimal. You can get a flash tune, but you ecu should adjust for fuel.
