There will always be some competition between vendors and its where the end user win normally. Get your product ready, get a vendor status and then advertise it the best as you can. You should get sales, but expect some competition, the n55 downpipe fix is overdue here...

Good luck with your product, I am interested in getting one (from BMS, Vishnu or you), once I am confident on the product.

I made the N55 downpipe fix cause i couldn't wait any longer for someone to come up with one and changing the downpipe to get the sticker was getting old. I realy don't care if I sell or not.
What is bothering me is Mike lying about something that he does't know anything about it.

thanks Kalud

wow...looks like I missed something as posts must be deleted...

anyway, I am excited to see this available. I was hesitate with the DP given the emissions crap here in GA

interesting

Was the BMS fix applied at the O2 sensor connector?
ETA?

Hey slopp can you handle something like this?

interesting stuff - is this a resistor voltage divider like the first gen N54 DP fix? Are the resistances adjustable? That was a bit of an issue with the last fix - each car had different tolerances (mechanical as well as software induced by BMW).....

Hey guys
This is my week off from work, I should be relaxing and instead I'm here arguing with people that I don't even know!
Like i said I made the N55 downpipe fix for my car, for my personal use, went to state inspection to make sure that it works and....
IT WORKS!
Got questions PM me!

Reviving this topic !

Anyone out there know of a Down Pipe Fix for the N55 or have done a SES removal via coding...

I currently run the CAN Tool to remove the SES but, want a more permanent fix...

I know the COBB tune has done this with their Stage 2 Maps, can the same technicque (if known how) be applied via coding?

SpartanGA · 03-20-2013, 04:41 PM

Cobb just turns off the light. The code would still be read by emissions

Yes, but it's better than having the CAN Tool always connected... And it's a singular disablement of a code rather than clearing all codes like CAN Tool and JB S2 does

Just looking for a permanent SES removal of the O2 related codes when using cat-less down pipe.

This really sucks that there is no fix for you guys...I mean its already been over 2 years the N55 has been out

Hi there, I know it's been awhile since your post on the N55 DownPipe fix (sti959), but wanted to know how it's been working out for you and where to get the parts. Great write up once again.

I tried his "fix" and it didn't work

Good to know Thanks!

Anyone have a working fix yet?

Jacblack · 11-27-2014, 03:49 AM

I'm protuned on cobb and passed emissions on my n55.

Which kind of test? How did you do it?

melloww22 · 11-27-2014, 01:48 PM

Sniff test? California is very strict

This. NY does it trough OBD

I just looked it up and it seems Maryland does it the same way, an OBD scan and I'm assuming visual. In NY they allow for one "not ready" monitor and I'd imagine Maryland is the same. I couldn't find that information, if they allow for 2 "not ready" monitors then that changes things.

Edit: found a document stating that they allow 1 "not ready" for vehicles 2001 and newer

So I just want to reaffirm that I understand this for the N55; the COBB tune will shut off the CEL for the O2 sensor code, but not for any other fault codes? So if my car has some other issue the CEL will still come on (and I won't just be driving it blindly with an issue and no CEL to tell me that there is an issue). Am I understanding this correctly? Does JB4 also do the same thing? I haven't decided which I'm going to go with yet.

My state doesn't have emissions test, in fact our vehicle inspection is such a joke that all it is is a VIN check and Odometer reading and its ONLY required if you are registering a car purchased out of state.

No yearly inspection.

Correct, it just clears the catalyst efficiency code.. I've had plenty of codes come up during my trial and error tuning. What it should do is just leave the catalyst efficiency monitor in the "not ready" state, which in most states is enough to get the car to pass an OBDII emissions test. There's no way anyone is going to remove the plastic tray under the car to do a visual and with newer cars the sniff test isn't necessary.

What is a CAN tool? Is that the Bavarian Technic Cable Diagnostic / Reset Tool?
