n26 downpipe install

Hi All,

Just ordered a MAD N26 Catless DP from Mike over at extreme powerhouse and was wondering what tools/replacement parts do I need

I know I need:

O2 Sensor Socket
E-Torx Set

Replacement Turbo to DP Flange
Replacement Turbo to DP V-Clamp


Is the DP - Midpipe clamp need replacing 100% or will it be fine to reuse?

Here is the video




you are not required to replace any hardware as you can re-use the stock one but i recommend using a new gasket

Thats for the n20, the n26 is a completely different vband clamp connecting the DP to the midpipe, i've mangled that damn clamp twice removing it, so it would be prudent to get a new one for the install.

Thinking about this DP on my '15 N26 also - CEL will throw, right? Will bm3 ignore it or prevent CEL or just something I have to live with?

Cat-less DP will throw a code but BM3 allows you to clear it

So the upper turbo to DP clamp doesn't have to be changed? I have a N26 and I have a bad exhaust leak, so I assume it's the lower DP to Midpipe clamp?
