N55 VRSF Downpipe m135i

Recommended Posts

Howdy. Im sure there must be a post about this somewhere here but I can't find it.

I've got a VRSF chargepipe on the way for my N55 M135i. The car currently has a MHD Stage 1 ots tune (98RON) so figured I should replace the stock charge pipe, which might blow. The stock charge pipe is brand new anyway, since the last one blew before the stage 1 map was even done.

Im doing things step by step - next step would be FMIC or downpipe. Ive got a good deal on a VRSF catless downpipe atm and was wondering if this can be installed safely while keeping the current stage 1 tune and not throwing CEL's all the time. I'm going to replace the charge pipe myself but not the downpipe - i'm guessing any shop (such as Euro Surgeon) would be able to install it? Keen to hear thoughts/ideas

Down pipes will throw a light with no tune but it won't matter. With any MHD tune regardless of stage, you won't have that issue. 
Downpipes don't do a huge amount for performance unless you are planning on going to 2 upwards. 

Make sure to get a quote before install. My shop ended up taking hours longer than they anticipated

I was quoted $600-$900 plus GST for the labour alone by a BMW specialist for my e82 n55. Not sure if the F chassis cars would mean an easier install but certainly not cheap.
