primary down pipe/ Warranty

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Currently I’m running a secondary DP. The reason to not going to primary is the warranty. So now I need to increase the sound so the cheapest way is the primary DP.

If i install the primary and I have an issue with the car in the future then I install back the Orignal DPs and remove the CEL error. Is there a way that the dealer could know that i had catless DPs?

If they search they might but dp's dont change boost like a tune/piggy so its more about if they look underneath and notice a chop shop job....

So the install should be clean IMHO but even moreso the uninstall reinstall.

CEL's, exhaust related, tend to occur randomly so if they search and find that- there might not be any issues.

It seems like where you are, its very stringent and if thats the case I would not run the DP's unless you know your Service Advisor very well ALONG with his team.

Following these threads. Like knowing I’m not the only one who thinks my M8C in Sport+ is too quiet. A few M3’s and M4’s in my neighborhood sound incredible.

You have a GC with a 10 inch longer exhaust than a coupe and almost 13 inches longer than a G8X. I have a fully modded G80 and while I love the exhaust immensely I do like the deep more rich sound of the V8 (barely LOL)... The exhaust length along with the better sound deadening in the 8 will get you that feeling.

Very very unlikely.

It does sound good but its still a higher pitch that needed a full setup vs our S63's which really just a res pull...

You have the same exhaust that a comp does but I think your center section might differ...

Ben is the comp and non comp like the M5?

There are 2 different part numbers. But it just saying either M Sport exhaust system or non M Sport exhaust system.

They may, just depending on the dealer how detail they want to dig into the car and finding out.
