This guy. One on each side. No 02’s after to check on it so deleting it should be code free.

Is the M5 getting the particulate filter in addition to 2 sets of cats later this year?

so at this point you have a charcoal filter in the intake, 4 cats, and a particulate filter? is it ever going to end? lol

It gets the two charcoal filters in the inlet. 4 cats in the exhaust. So far, no particulate in the exhaust.

Did not remove. Not sure yet if the second o2 sensor can measure pressure and trigger a cel if the second cat is deleted. Probably will not, but not sure.

I think I'm going to attempt it, worried about cel and possible loss of tq, worst case I'll just put them back I guess. I'll update back.

You won’t lose any low end torque with a second cat delete. Should sound better. Report back !

Sounds good on mine, butt dyno can tell a difference also. Intake + exaust = getting a little wheelspin now even with launch control. Will dyno again sat and report back how much increase I had.
