Depends what you like having. Personally I like quality of course first and foremost but I also like having a good brand generally for whatever it is I’m buying regardless if car related or not but that’s just me. Many will say its just a pipe and that’s fine too.

You do; they use generic cats.

You need either GESI or HJS cats to avoid the check engine light.

I would go with fabspeed I wish I did or vrsf 200 cell if your tuining it

Avoid the Wagner catted downpipe it is badly designed causes post cat o2 sensor to fail due to tension on the cable.

Do a search on here it has affected a lot of their n55 downpipes they will not acknowledge this though and basically told me to piss off when I asked for a refund.

It was fitted by ecotune who are a reputable garage/tuner in uk they are a Wagner dealer yet Wagner still wouldn’t honor the warranty.

I’m actually trying to get rid of it on here but will still say this as I would hate to see someone have the problems I did because of this stupidly designed cat.

Damaged 2 o2 sensors and missed a track day I had booked too late for a refund all because of this pos sports cat.

Glad you’re honest about it unlike some others who want to defend how much they overpaid for a crap product. Sorry to hear about your experience, what are you going to do now?

I took it off last summer and fitted a vrsf 200 cell sport cat it is much better no issues with fitment has been fine no problems or damaged o2 sensors.

I am very happy with it

Another vote for the Fabspeed sportcat, I have been extremely happy with mine and have had it on for over 20,000 miles now. No issues, no codes, no hassle.

If you are tuned no sense in wasting 5X more on a more restrictive cat that keeps the cel away.

Go with a euro5 200 cell.
