Hello All,

Hope everyone is well.

I am in the process of purchasing several mods for my car, one being a catless downpipe. It may be a lot to ask but is there anyone with a F10 535i with a catless downpipe installed that I can ride in? I am in the LA area.(I'm hearing mixed things on the smell and want to get a first hand experience on how bad this may be). If anyone is willing I would greatly appreciate it!

you're only going to smell it with the windows down, sitting at a light, when the wind happens to blow your exhaust fumes into the cabin. otherwise it is not going to be an issue. if the smell is excessive, usually it points toward a leaking downpipe gasket.

do you plan to keep the rest of your exhaust system stock? this is a good setup. great sound when you really get on the throttle, but drone free and almost stock while cruising.

sorry I could not directly answer your question. I strongly suggest you post over at the f30 section and find someone that has your engine (n55) but in the f30 with a downpipe - you'll have better chances of finding someone and it will give you just as good of an idea.

good luck

If you are worried about smell, get the AR catted downpipe.
You still get 100% of the performance, a sound increase and no smell at all
