Yes!!! But good thing I didn't. My track friends with E92 M3 spend insane amount of $$ for everything. haha It's not bad for just dailying and hard parking, but not really smart for track driving.

We have guys from Irvine going together, its okay hyung. lol

So I finally had the leaky radiator replaced. Then, I bit the bullet and went ahead and installed my aftermarket cat-less downpipe.

Here's my stock DP:



I forgot to take a pic of the VRSF downpipe, but here is exactly what I got:



I picked this DP because of the price, and the fact that it's the ONLY unit offered already ceramic coated from the manufacturer, AFAIK. This is a screaming value because ceramic coating alone would probably cost an additional $100-$150 to have done on this part. Also, I had no fitment issues. The DP made the car smell for the first 2 days after install, but I can't really smell anything anymore, thankfully. Also, people who install cat-less DP's usually get a CEL, but for some reason, I haven't gotten one yet, even though I've driven 250+ miles.

If the CEL comes up, I can always delete it with my JB4, but it's weird to me that I haven't gotten one yet.

Here's a pick of the engine bay with various items removed for access to the O2 sensors:



Lastly, here is a sound clip of my initial start-up after install:


You can hear my GFB DV after the first rev @ 0:08. Also, you can hear my exhaust burble/pop from accelerator lift-off @ 0:12-0:13. The burbles/pops are a result of my BMW PPK flash.

I want to get a BEF (back-end flash) done on my JB4, and also probably a proper tune with MHD. This will ensure that I safely max out HP and have a smoother power curve.

More than anything, the new radiator has now enabled me to safely see track duty.
