Straight ones will do just fine if so needed.

Niiice! That's good to hear, better throttle response and exhaust sound as expected?

Definitely more responsive and pull in the mid-upper range.
And louder for sure.

To note though I also have a full active Autowerke catback with their non-res X midpipe and Armaspeed CF intake.

So it all works well together

Are high flow downpipes really needed for some bm3 or custom tunes. I don't know where I read or what video I saw but someone mentioned that the stock downpipe has pretty good flow and a high-flow down pipe is not needed.

Up to a certain point, the power is the same. But since it's more stress on the turbos with the stock downpipes.

After a certain power range, you'll start losing power w/ stock vs. high flow downpipes.

Not sure but I heard the stock cats are 700 or 800 cell, don't quote me though. Not sure how accurate this information is but when I spoke with AA today they stated their 400 cell gesi cats flow as well as others 200 cell cats. No clue really and I doubt any of us are going to know the difference. Regardless I just need catted dp's since I wanted to be "somewhat" legal-ish lol. Also not a fan of the smell and we know those cats are high quality. Bonus they had 1 in stock today and it shipped, just got confirmation it will be here tomorrow!!

Stock cats are 800cell
Is this confirmed fact ? Then I'm for sure going for a pair of high quality catted DP's to compliment my R44 exhaust.
