I cannot and don't want to give you any specific recommendations, it's your personal decision.

Do you have a video of the catted ER Downpipes? I've been looking for one to decided if I want catted or not.
I took a video of catted, but somehow my iPhone created some distortion.

I'll try to upload it and share it.
Thanks! Once I hear the catted version I can decide and I'll be reaching out to you to purchase!
Damn, I think deleted the video.
Can't find it anywhere in my phone or my computer.

I guess we are at the mercy of AlexFL to make the video.

But I’ll not have a video of the downpipe with stock exhaust. And the video with the Akra won’t help much.

Would live to compare your high flow cat sound to mine. Shouldn't be that different. How many cells is your stainless cat? Mine is 200

OPF kills anything it's attached to. It is the nemesis of good sound.

Pretty new to this, so forgive my basic question. Been reading quite a bit about upgrades to the sound for this vehicle, and it sounds like adding a cat back exhaust is the best way to get this where I want it to be. Would installing something like this Remus Exhaust cause an emissions test failure?

Thanks!

In this car, cat-back system will remove the secondary catalytic.
So, not so sure how it work in your states.

Got it, thank you. Does that also apply to axle back? Not sure where the secondary cat is.

Axle back won't affect anything.

Getting ready to upgrade my exhaust on the x3m comp. I am thinking about the catless downpipe since I like the comps exhaust just would like it louder. Question is, I know I need a tune. Thinking the bm3 stage 2. Assuming that will shut off check engine lights. If I go in to the dealer for a service should I revert to stock tune? Or will that throw a check engine since there are no cats? Perhaps I can just keep the tune on for service. Any suggestions?

Flash tune will clear the CEL.
Dealer may reset the tune if there is a software update to the DME.
Most guys revert to stock tune when goes in for service.
