Performance boost?
Sound level change?
Did you have a tune for it?

Thanks

I can say almost as good as the after market catless pipes (much cheaper) also the fitment it great since these are OEM pipes.
Sound change huge diffrence.
I used the tune that I had for catless pipes and worked great.

IIRC, I believe that you also had the AR catted downpipes?
How did they compare?

still worried about gaseous odor...

My wife still thinks of the X5M as a luxury car... I'm wondering if there is added performance that you can actually feel or does going catless simply mean that it sounds better?

- Gixxer wishes there were some realistic way to compare the two!

sound + performance, also if you have the tune (which you will need if you go catless ) its a huge difference.

Hey what's up man? Saw this post when you first put them up. I've been looking for a catless set up. Any idea if this will fit my 35i? Thanks

Sound was better with these, meaning gutted stock or the AR's? I mentioned this on another post, but let's say we can hit 650 gutted for free vs 660 Akropovic, AR, etc @ $1400-$2000, I'd happily go gutted until prices become realistic on 3' of pipe.

Bump for clarification. It was suggested to me that gutted cats would cause tubulence and cause the boost to act funny with that big bubble of open space where the cats were, but I'd rather be certain from someone who's actually done it and used it.

I've gutted mine, I can't complain. Little quicker throttle respone, little more exhaust note for daily driving but definitely noticeable for cold morning idling.
