Must Do Modification - DIY Catless downpipe install - F10 535i BMW N55 Build Part 6

In today’s video we do one of the most effective modifications for the n55 bmw engine. This mod gives you 70+ horsepower with a tune. Many people get their catless or high flow downpipe from places like VRSF but I got this from AliExpress which is the same company that supplies the one you find on eBay and my review is the parts are virtually identical in quality and performance. My f10 is now ready for its intercooler and a tune so I can make 400hp or more in my 535i.

[@SportGuyDMV]

I put vrsf catless dp on my f33, with vrsf front mount intercooler, and chargepipe and tuned it to stage 2 using mhd. Everything was great EXCEPT the smell. Before you install this just be aware that youll fail emissions if your state does that, gas efficiency goes down, and smell is very strong at least for me. I had to go back to stock dp. When I had it installed it didn't throw up any codes but you should tune shortly after if you make this mod

link for downpipe?

[@masr4206]

I bought the same pipe but I couldn’t get it to fit?

[@FrankCraddock-u7v]

you know thats a torque wrench not a breaker bar right????

[@loscastillo8639]

Whats the link for the downpipe?

[@vladmoldovan7510]

Hey, awesome content! Is your car xDrive?

[@JonIbrahim]

Yes it is! I love it.

[@cbxnkzz8139]

is it 3 inch or 3.5? All others such as VRSF and RVG sell only 3.5 or 4 inch.

[@itznixx9830]

im pretty sure PreLCI f10 models so 2011-2013 is 3.5, because they are pwg, and 2014-2016 is 4.0 (EWG)

[@hakano3203]

@@itznixx9830 you have link for 4 inch? and the downpipe he is using is it 4 or 3,5 inch?

[@j.r.986]

How do you like the QuickJack? I’m thinking about getting one to use with my F10 535i and F15 X5

[@JonIbrahim]

It’s certainly better than a Jack and Jack stands. And if you are limited on ceiling height it’s the best you’re going to get I think. If I had space for a full size lift I would get it. Also I got mine on offer up for half price so check your local area see if someone is selling one

[@SeedfulMusic]

Would you recommend this to someone who doesn't have any other engine mods and doesn't plan to tune? I ask b/c I need to replace catalytic converter, why not with this instead?

[@JonIbrahim]

You need to tune otherwise you’ll have a check engine light and can’t pass emissions.

[@SeedfulMusic]

@@JonIbrahim How does one "tune" the car? Do you have to take it to someone, or is that something I can do myself?

[@JonIbrahim]

@@SeedfulMusic you can do it yourself with MHD. It’s an app on android and iPhone

[@MotoRacer171]

Does the VSRF prevent codes so it can pass emissions test or is that a thing i gotta buy separate?

[@JonIbrahim]

It doesn’t come with anything. I only drove it around the block and I didn’t get any codes. But If you are doing this you will need a tune. I did MHD to be sure which is all I needed to pass in AZ. Where are you located?

[@MotoRacer171]

@@JonIbrahim Ohio, my buddy got some kind of thing to make the sensors think there is still cats installed but i guess that is a separate purchase

[@JonIbrahim]

@@MotoRacer171 yeah You don’t need it if you do an MHD tune. Probably better to spend the money on the tune in my opinion.

[@MotoRacer171]

@@JonIbrahim Im cutting the exhaust off and tuning right after it leaves the dealer😂

[@JonIbrahim]

@@MotoRacer171 hahaha as you should! These cars were built for it.

[@Bands264]

Did the check engine come on?

[@JonIbrahim]

Nope, no check engine. However I tuned with mhd pretty soon after install. Here’s the video I made on that if you’re interested in watching kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKu3hIpvhcd4mqs

hey, is your BMW LCI modell? or is it pre lci?

Pre

[@anthonyhaywood961]

Did you use oem vband clamp

[@JonIbrahim]

I did use the original one. Fit perfect

[@WadeSmith19]

She sounds healthy

[@JonIbrahim]

Might need to straight pipe it

[@michaelbmwfire2784]

is it the same process for m850i 2020?

[@abirmahmud1334]

No I’m guessing you have the n63 motor where the downpipes are located at the top back of the engine different process

[@MICHAELBMW1]

@@abirmahmud1334 correct, Thanks!

[@dimitarn460]

Link to order? Are you satisfied with quality so far?

[@JonIbrahim]

Yes. It’s been a few weeks since I installed and I love it. Would totally recommend. The one I ordered came with charge pipe and down pipe. Total price of 221 with shipping.

[@jmoney6005]

Did you ever end up ordering it off of there?

[@JonIbrahim]

@@jmoney6005 I did yes. It took 2-3 weeks for shipping and solid quality. I order a decent amount of stuff from AliExpress. It’s just like eBay parts but longer shipping times.

[@dzionisis]

@@JonIbrahim How was the fitment for the downpipe ? Im thinking about ordering the same as you

[@JonIbrahim]

@@dzionisis perfect. You will not be able to find a single difference between these and vrsf. You’ll be happy with the purchase

[@karimelashi110]

Can i contact you on whatsapp? I have some questions regarding your n55 build

[@JonIbrahim]

I don’t have WhatsApp but happy to answer any questions on here. What’s up?

[@karimelashi110]

I am interested in the parts you bought from alibaba or aliexpress I am talking about the chargepipe, downpipe, and intercooler. Are they still good till now? Would u recommend them or should i pay more and get branded products ? Thanks in advance

[@JonIbrahim]

@@karimelashi110 I recommend them. I have not had any issues. The branded products are the same you just pay for the brand. Please subscribe to the channel if you have not already

[@karimelashi110]

So no fitment issues and performance on the long run is all good ?? I am also going to stage 2+ so wouldnt want anything to damage my engine Already subscribed, great videos Thanks for the fast reply also

[@JonIbrahim]

@@karimelashi110 yes. I bought for my 335 and 535i and both cars same result. No figment issues and they still all perform great.
