AR Down Pipes Catteded Vs Catless for N63
Hey Guys looking to get downpipes for my 2013 550. I'm stuck between the AR Catted and Catless downpipes. Has anybody owned (maybe even a different company) both catted and catless downpipes and can weigh in on the pro's and cons of each?
Any input is appreciated! Looking to do a custom exhaust possibly meistershaft mufflers. |

Pros: No CEL Light, No Smell, i hold 1/4 for N63 even with catted down pipes... but i would be faster catless that's for sure. Cons: Not as fast as with catless

Well yea not the sound itself, but from what I heard Tax Collectors have check-points and if they smell that fuel in our high collections states (NJ/NYC) in 1 of those points, they will impound your car supposedly. Something to do with emissions.
This same reason why I want to go catted.

Im sure all states have had them at one time or another, here they were called "Smog Dogs"... basically vans or devices setup with sniffers in low speed areas (for us it was onramps to freeways), if you exceeded a value, it snapped a picture and sent it to the MVD, which in turn required you to get your emissions done if your vehicle required it. I haven't seen one in probably 10-12 years though so I'm guessing it was a pilot project that never took off.

I have catless, and I can tell you it sounds and performs amazing.
I know badblack has a catted downpipe and he also reports gains. So you have to ask yourself if the Smell will bother you, because if you like to cruise w/windows down.. the smell is very noticeable, I'm use to it and dont really mind. But its there, and the only drawback. If I were to do it again, I would go catless, costs less, more gains, windows up.

Could be! We had a democrat here in office for a while... been smooth sailing since the republicans took control! No gun laws, no car laws, and out of county has zero emissions rules.
