B46 Engine Downpipe - Catted or Catless?
Hey all, looking to add a downpipe with my setup as I will be getting a tune at the same time. Just wondering what people's opinions are on catless vs catted/high flow downpipes? I've heard people say that catless can be tinny/raspy, and obviously smells pretty bad. However, in Canada a catted downpipe is more than 4 times the price of catless! (350 for catless and 1450 for catted!)
Just wondering if anybody has installed a catless downpipe on their B46 and has any input that can be provided, thanks. Really not sure which one to go with here. |

I have a catless downpipe on my B46 F31 Wagon - Evolution Racewerks. I don't really notice the smell unless it's in the garage running for a few minutes (door open) - even then, it's minor. Unless your state/region requires inspections, I'd go catless to avoid the extra cost.

No need to spend $1400 for catted, we offer CTS downpipes for ~$350
i prefer catted because of the fuel smell produced by the catless. I'm also not a fan of the raspy catless sound.
