Any N20 Catted Downpipe guys on here?

2Banger · 01-22-2016, 07:54 AM

Thinking of going with Catted, As i only Run Race-Chip not Jb4 (kind of regret not getting JB now) and it won't remove Engine Lights once i put on Catless DP.

Does anybody have it and still think the performance gains are great obviously not as good as Catless but is it worth $700USD in your opinion?

Also anybody run Catted Wagner or anything and ended up getting Engine Light?

You really want these downpipes dont you ?

Catted will give you most of the gains and sound of the catless

You running 320 or 328? I'm also contemplating catted Downpipe with an AWE exhaust...I have a 320 though which I believe has a weaker bottom end...

I got ER Catless and I didn't like the smell.

So I changed it for a Catted version. They say there is a slight difference in performance, but I couldn't feel it if that's true. Still just as fast.

It is a tiny bit quieter, still way louder than stock, and has very little smell (barely noticeable, but there if you leave your car running in a garage for several minutes), compared to the catless.

I have a flash with CEL delete (which doesn't effect emissions testing - I just passed with flying colors), so can't really comment on CEL. I've heard there are no guarantees with any Catted pipe that you won't get a CEL

Overall I'm much happier with catted.

I really would like to get Catless but my main concern is Engine Light... And the whole issue is that RaceChip won't clear CEL and driving around with an engine light isn't nice lol.

Can you sell the RaceChip and go JB4? I love the JB4, I think it's worth it. I upgraded from stage 1 to JB4, and I love it.

You need the JB4 for other feature as well including a map optimized for catless downpipes

sent you a pm with price
changing maps takes less than 5 seconds
you can use the USB cable, boost hijack or do it using your phone by Bluetooth with the help of the bus Bluetooth connect kit

I would reco getting the OBD2 plug in. It's so simple. I also got the weather cover. Lastly, adjusting the map when hooked up to the laptop is as simple as a drop down menu. My power delivery was very smooth with the JB4.

Do you have EWG or PWG?

Electronic waste gate or pneumatic waste gate. PWG requires power from JB4, which is one additional hookup.

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 01-25-2016, 07:51 PM

Typically 2014+ is EWG.

Who? · 03-26-2016, 09:47 PM

will the CEL come back if you remove jb4?

I have a 2014 328. I'm getting the jb4 soon should i make sure to get the ewg version?

disfunk · 03-27-2016, 10:03 AM

went with the ER catted version and never regretted it! No smell and loved the slightly louder bassy sound (unlike Catless which is just pure noise) and the increased delivery in power...pedal definetly feels lighter and watch your rpm increase easily.

Blacktan · 03-27-2016, 02:37 PM

How can i understand if my n20 is ewg or pwg ?
My f32 428i is builted oct13 , is it easy to recognize ?

Yes, 2014+ will have EWG, you can select it in the options menu on our site.

Pneumatic

EWG

Sounds like catted would have been a better option for you
You wouldnt lose too much power while getting a lower sound and no smell
