2020 M850 G16 downpipes discussion

Hey guys,

I wanted to go catless with my G16 and been doing lots of research online for a good choice and I'm so confused...some website says their downpipes are for the G15 only and some advertised as G15&16.

My question is does the gran coupe downpipes fits the coupe?

Also if you guys can recommend a brand that will send me the correct ones without issues that would be great! I'm planning to get them installed with my dealership but the labor cost is crazy high so I need a trusted brand.

I don't have an answer but I'm pretty sure with catless DPs you're going to get CEL. Is your dealer going to code it out?

Nice! When it’s all done be sure to let us know how it feels.

Sounds great! However I cannot find any options for the m850 on mad website, where did you purchase them?

A tuner can code O2 sensor code out and yes defoulers don't work on these new cars no more they are too intelligent

I have the prototype I test-fitted it for them. I just emailed them directly. I run a BMW dealer so they let me get my shop to install them.

I have JB4 and intake on the car. Do you know of any tuners?

Does your dealer have contract with Carbahn tuning? That would be the best way to do it

[QUOTE=HEBREWHAMMER0913;30316230]My dealer at Cincinnati does and they said they will code it out. The only issue I'm having rn is I need the correct size for the dp cuz the labor for installation is $2500 if I got the wrong ones I'm screwed!

No, I was just looking at Carbahn trying to figure out how they do stuff.

I'd get them if they had it posted on their website, they only have ones for the M8
Can you hook me up with them?

You're totally right. However, not sure if they're using cheap Chinese cat.

They are located in the US but you never know all these brands where it's actually made they could be all in China lol except the big brands like armytrix or akrapovic.. so if you really Willing to spend that much just go with one of these big names.
So far rvg is probably what I'll go with since they offer return and fitment guarantee and my bud got them installed at the dealership without issues.
