Catted vs Catless Downpipe

When choosing a downpipe for your BMW N20 engine, you have the option between a catless or catted design:

• Catless Downpipe (Like this one): Maximizes exhaust flow for increased horsepower and torque. However, it removes the catalytic converter, which can lead to higher emissions and may not be street legal in some areas.
• Catted Downpipe: Retains a high-flow catalytic converter, offering improved performance while staying compliant with emissions regulations. Ideal for street use in areas with strict emissions laws.

Choose a catless downpipe for maximum performance, or a catted downpipe if you need to meet emissions standards.
