I think that's what twinturbo on here did to get a catless downpipe, not sure how he got it tested at MOT time?

No links im afraid, but ive seen them on ebay for £200ishJimsZ wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 12:03 amI'd go for it for sure, they are an easy to fit item. I've actually done this to a 4 pot turbo'd car in the past, with other mods for that marque, helped unleash over 60hp combined with the other mods and remap.
Slightly off topic, sorry...
Do you have any links to the 4 pot versions?
Meaning what exactly ?

Have to disagree here, BMW has not really been "Premium" for a long time, car finance has made cars like these reachable to a large amount of people including the "pond dredging levels" as you refer to above. You want high end and premium, go buy an aston or an exotic. Don't kid your self in to thinking BMW is high end, it has not been for a long time.

That’s just your opinion, maybe others don’t see it as penny pinching but instead consider the alternatives to be overpriced?willgill wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 6:04 pmSmartbear wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 5:53 pmI think you’re just taking the p*ss now!willgill wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 5:51 pmJust to further push home my point, found some tyres for you

nah I'm really not, my point is uniform. Can't really see what is so hard to get to be fair. If those downpipes were any good then they would be universally adopted and used by tuners/modders alike, same goes for the tyres as an alternative example. If the thought of shoving shite tyres on your car isn't acceptable why would penny pinching on a critical engine component be any different?

Edit: Also there is nothing wrong with Japanese parts, some are of poor quality, but that can happen with German parts too. Both German and Japanese manufacturers produce some fantastic stuff. The difference is primarily in price, and that's the 'German parts tax'. Not because they are any higher quality like so many want to desperately believe.
