Update #2 Ordered my 4 inch catless downpipe yesterday. Hopefully install isn't super bad

Why the missing injen enclosure?

After installing my chargepipe I just haven't had time to put the enclosure back on

Update #3
Installed my cnt catless downpipe last night. Took about 3 hours to do with a lift. Look at my posts for a review. Power gains are impressive for just a pipe and the sound is spot on.

Sweet build, looking forward to the progress.

Thats next on the list! Ive pulled on stock 335is and hung out with an M2 for a little while

Update #4
Solowerks coil overs installed! Install was pretty easy with a lift. Rides great and feels much more responsive.

.BMW. · 12-07-2018, 01:14 PM

Looks great with coilovers.
