Do you really mean you have catless downpipes?

I've used high-flow cats on other cars that still cause catalyst efficiency codes. I don't have experience with them on the N54, but whether it sets a fault or not really depends on how well the cats clean up the exhaust. Aftermarket high-flow cats definitely don't work as well as OEM in that respect.
