What BMW tuner for catless? (s55)

From what I can see, a lot of big tuners in the usa won't tune a catless car anymore. Cary Jordan being the largest now saying he won't do cars with modified exhausts. Idk about f80 paul. If anyone knows someone outside the usa that is well known that might be an option.

i don't want to destroy my cats with burbles so, can he tell that it's catless? If not, would it be worse for the tune if he doesn't know/ i dont tell him? I'm in northern california and I barely even know any performance shops that install stuff anymore it's kinda sad.

Why even go catless anymore honestly? It just makes your car smell like shit and attract attention from cops.

The question is how do you plan on passing your inspections, especially in California? What about the random tuning/emissions tests administered by law enforcement on road?

Unless you're going for big power, catless downpipes aren't worth the trouble to switch in my opinion. I did aftermarket catted downpipes, and I'd wager there isn't much power left on the table vs doing fully catless.
