So i just received my vrsf downpipe from x-ph and i ordered the catless version but the piece i got sent looks like it has a cat on it, just wondering if vrsf changed their catless design or if i got sent the catted on accident. Any help is appreciated. Mods if this isn't allowed or wrong sub forum feel free to delete or move it i couldn't find the correct place to put this.[IMG][/IMG]

Is the pipe hollow (can you see directly through it)?

If so... its catless. If not, it has a cat inside.

I'm cat less and it has that.

Like the person above states the cat would be inside. If it's straight thru it's cat-less

FYI, what you are seeing in the image is the flex section. Out of curiosity, are you EWG? They may have revised the DP because i have not seen any for f30 n55 with a flex section like that.

The downpipe you received is the 3.5" because im assuming thats the one you ordered.

Under that same product, if you select the 4.0" downpipe you will receive the model below



the catted version looks like this
