The AA is a GESI cat and its 400. https://store.activeautowerke.com/pr...atted-downpipe
Also, im pretty sure stock is WAY higher than 300 per section (meaning before and after the 2nd O2). I dont have a source onhand, but you can see when you compare it side by side with any other aftermarket one as i did with my fabspeed. |

I have similar Q to the above. I’m n55 EWG Xdrive (435iX GC), and I don’t see either the AA or Fabspeed ‘no CEL’ DPs being available for my car? So N55 Xdrive has no great catted DP option?

Both will fit. Xdrive doesn't effect the fitment. I have the Fabspeed downpipe and it fits fine.

It’s just very odd that neither mentions Xdrive when they list all the compatible models for these DPs, and in fact remove the DP as an available part when you do specify you have an Xdrive… |

The way the downpipe sits with xdrive vs without, is no difference so I think that is why there is no mention of it.

thanks guys I ended up pulling the trigger on the AA DP because of the EPA Certified factor plus fabspeed's price difference now lets just hope I pass CT emissions (visual and OBDII inspection).

I had to wait for mine for a while so heed this advice if you have the patience of a 5 yr old.

AA fitment for EWG is pretty poor. Could only use one of the brackets, and even that was spotty. Turned what should have been a simple install into a profanity laced ordeal :/.

I'm going with defective product
I tried every which way, several times, and could not get the bracket posts to line up and get the flange to be flat against the turbo. I was hoping removing one bracket would do the trick, but it still wouldn't line up properly without loosening the bracket as much as possible. I have to pull it all out again now since it never did seat properly, and is leaking. I consider myself fairly mechanically inclined - 4 or 5 downpipes on my other cars - including 2 other N55's, turbo swaps, heads, cams, engine swaps, etc - so pretty sure it wasn't a bad install..... :P |

I expected some trouble, as I did find several other complaints about this same issue during my research. Not a lot of those mind you, but there were some out there that gave me pause. The no CEL guarantee was enough to go for it anyway. I'm easily hitting 2 more PSI now with the stage 2 tune and DP, so performance is excellent.
