even i stop at the light, no gas smell.

I have the Stage 2 upgrade, it feels much faster when it over 100MPH.

I would like to learn the difference in power level between the tune only and the addition of the catless downpipes...

The gaseous odor is a concern to me as well... did the odor that everyone is talking about disappear once the tune was corrected to the new catless downpipes?

A lot faster and ALOT louder, the fume smell will never go away but will be managed if you are at all sensitive to the smell then cat less pipes are not for you. the power is another 50hp and 50tq at the wheels. you feel it

In the past ,FOR MYSELF, the biggest benefit of free flowing downpipes on a turbocharged car is the decrease in turbo turbo lag. The throttle is always more responsive and in a noticeable. My only gripe, stopping me from purchasing a set for the X5M, is the location of the downpipes and its effect of the gas smell in the car. Hopefully I can meet up with some of you to see how bad or not bad the smell is.

I wonder if the race catted (High flow cats) versions eliminates or reduces smell but still improves performance and sound?
