COBB or VRSF DownPipe dilemma
Looking for a catted downpipe.
I know this topic is like a hammered nail. But I'm doing so much forum and web searching that I'm going cross eyed. Currently: my daily is an e92 335i '11. Running COBB AP (stage 1+) with FTP chargepipe. Plans to do the performance exhaust mod, XHP transmission tune, and eventually MHD. If I did the DP I probably would not (or hold off) doing the PE exhaust mod for the sake of the neighborhood. That's just me. But I am wanting to go the stage 2 and DPs are one of the keys. Trying to avoid CELs as its my baby. I believe they are both 200 cell cats. Correct? Cost difference is substantial between the two. Should I broaden my scope? Thoughts????

You should dump the Cobb tune and get MHD. The MHD tune can hide the CEL and help pass emissions. The Cobb tune has been obsolete years. Then skip the catted dp and go catless (VRSF). Not sure why anyone would buy catted at this point since it makes less power than catless and the cats fail eventually anyways.

I'd stick with MHD on this platform as well.
I personally prefer to support vendors who continue to support the platform. Unfortunately Cobb abandoned this platform over half a decade ago. |

Thank you
I am in the process of switching. I ordered the iOS WiFi compatible receiver.
Once I get that, I'll do the MHD and xHP tune. Sell my Cobb Still on the fence regarding the HF or catless DP. Only for suburban sound reasons. There are a few focus Sports that roll around here. I do admit to eye rolls. Plans for HFDP and PE exhaust mod with MHD and xHP.

OP, I went with VRSF catless DP v2. Fitment was great and no issues. |

I was never able to find pics of the cat in the VRSF, so here's mine.
