Do you have an aftermarket downpipe and how did you address your CEL if you had one light up?

What’s up bro how did the install go? Looking to install on my 640i GC

@losolongway5741 2 жыл бұрын

Any issues? I’ll most likely flash tune so it’ll pass smog get rid of check engine light but wanted to see how it worked out for you.. performance wise reliability sound etc.

This information was very helpful.... keep up with the good quality content my guy!

Look like a great piece, glad you are reviewing it! I'm starting to play with my N55 640i GC and was/am still looking for a great product, at a reasonable price mind you, and this seems to be fitting the bill well for the high-flow cat option I'm wanting. Being in CA, I want to keep my car as smog passable as possible and open it up a bit and still have decent reliability...I know, I know....BMW and reliability dont really go together but still so I'm keeping it mild. I'm wanting a high flow cat, new charge pipe, BootMod3, one step cooler sparks and a change of coils. I might fab in M6 mufflers for the swap BUT I'm debating this about my intake choices as I'm flip-flopping on the aFe intake or the Turner Enclosed Carbon Fiber Intake for the F10 535i as it ifs the 640i N55 perfectly.

Would this EWG downpipe work fine with MHD? I dont own apple products 😅 I have a 2016 640i with a upgraded intercooler and charge pipe

Hi guys looking to add downpipes to my X5F85 but not sure. Catted on castles, I no that I would not like all the pippin and not too loud

I bought a 200 cell hi-flow cat downpipe (in 2019)for my F10 535i, and it passed emissions the first year, but not the second. Ended up with a failed cat + smell (was tuned with OTS MHD Stage 2) and having to still get an O2 simulator. Now I'm contemplating going catless since I have to deal with a smell and O2 sim anyway

@TheDailyDriver 2 жыл бұрын

When you failed, did you have a CEL? I wonder if your CAT went bad. What brand DP is it?

@Neejay 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheDailyDriver No CEL at first. Eventually the CEL came with the smell. The cat definitely went bad. RM Motors brand.

N55 335i here, it's not worth going with a catted dp in Massachusetts. They just updated their rules, even with a stock do and a MHD tune you will fail inspection and will have to go to a MAC site for a deeper inspection. A guy I know with a 540i failed with a aftermarket catted dp and MHD stage 2 tune. Also failed with the stage 0 tune. Had to go to a MAC site and he got flagged. I had to swap my stock cat back in and remove MHD completely to pass. Good luck everyone!

Is there a difference between sedan and suv with n55 ?

@faresbmw Жыл бұрын

i wish you can mention the difference between downpipe grade ss201 and ss 304 and which one is better

@TheDailyDriver Жыл бұрын

General rule of thumb is higher the SS number, the better the steel and better rust resistance. For example... 304 is the "standard" stainless steel. 314 is the next big step up and is often a feature highlighted in watches as a "premium" upgrade material. 201 is like the mild steel of stainless. It makes the cut, but is not a high grade stainless steel.

@@TheDailyDriver It's a hit or miss with a flash tune. If you re-lock your DME before taking it to the dealer there's a 90% chance they won't see it unless if they are doing some extensive diagnosis that they need to tap into almost every ECU.

@@stevencerda9126 easy install. Hardest part was separating downpipe from exhaust. 20 minutes of blowtorching and hammering. Aside from that 5 minutes in and out. Threw a CEL about 2 weeks after install lol, bootmod3 stage 2 93 oct tune. Everything else has been great
