I've run both the catted iCarbon and catted AR. iCarbon seems to be louder and raspier while the AR has more lower frequency and better sounding overall. I'd prefer AR.

I have the AR 4" catless and I love the sound of it. Additionally it is very well made. The welds are a form of art. It is one of the most expensive downpipes for the N55 (the most expensive?) but you get what you pay for. I would buy the same one again.

i have a few questions about the catless ar design downpipe
is the ar design down pipe the only one that uses titanium ???
and is it really true 3 inch ???
will it fit perfectly ?
because my friend told me that if its the only true 3 inch why the other downpipes is not true 3 inch ??

he said that maybe if the others made it 3 inch it will not fit into some places under the hood

am talking about the catless version not the high flow cat
thanx all

If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably get the BMS DP. Would have loved to save myself some cash..
