Advice on Down Pipes for 2024 M4 Xdrive

Any Advice on downpipes prefer Catless. I heard its a must for Tunning for E85 and unlocking ECU.

I will not go down the rabbit hole on the subject is it really must as my opinion it will not heart but do not expect mirracles around HP/TQ gains. On other side catless DPs are quite cheap.

If you want to go catless any brand will work but I can say MAD and AA demonstarted to me their quality. Great quality!

MAD i believe released catless resonated DP !!! Maybe worth to consider by you!

For Catless, MAD has excellent construction and prices is great. I went MAD 200 cell just to decrease smell. E85 is not a problem.

MAD resonated catless would be great to try out as they’d reduce rasp with virtually no flow restriction. That and their resonated mid pipe would be a great setup to the stock back section/muffler. Then have the SST valve controller to give you the ability to open, close valves, run them at 50% open.

The above setup would support a ton of power on E and sound great without being too expensive.

It's not a must to have downpipes for E85 or DME unlocking.

It will improve air flow and sound.
Catless is louder but also raspier and generates a fuel smell
resonated fixes reduce the raspiness but still have a fuel smell
Catted is quieter than catless, and louder than stock, but it fixes the fuel smell and raspiness of the catless option
