But hey, we won't tell. 
I did ran it on my 528, took it to service and other non-engine related issues, my SA didnt mention or ask anything.
Uh, forgot to answer the main difference. Catted downpipe normally uses 200cell or 300cell catalytic, which has better flow than stock.
On turbo motor, less restriction, means fast spool.
Of course with catless, mean you are on a pipe only, so better performance than catted one. |
Really? I mean I prob wont get the catless since its much louder & I dont want to bother with CELs triggered by it. And looks like the catted will provide decent improvement not far off from catless right?
Either way don't know where i'll be driving to rather not get stopped for smell.
So your SA didn't care since it was just service ?

Example if you go to the dealership with bad brakes they cant void your warranty because of catless DP.
But if you go with a bad engine or Turbo, then it gets tricky.
That being said damaging either one is very rare and it is almost impossible to be caused by catless DP. But even if it happens you can just remove the DP before you take the car to the dealership.
Add to that that catless DP are louder and sound sick even with stock exhaust  |
Thank you
