I am asking that because I have a big concern it will trigger CEL eventually in 2 or 3 years.

The cat being larger in diameter can offset its lower density to some extent and improve the flow capacity in the meanwhile. I heard a few companies do that in some other applications.

Most sport cat bodies are circa 5" (120-125mm) Dia. BCS here in the UK do 5.5"/140mm dia sports cat. They have tested flow of this with their decat pipe and delta is neglible. I have one fitted to my EWG m135i with stock midpipe and MPE. Its been working fine for 2 years although it's in combo with jb4.

What octane gas is used for the dyno tests? I'm in Cali, so limited to 91

Any long term issues with the DP?

Long term issues? Yeah.... I burn through more gas because I love the sound of free revving and holding gears much longer than I should. My car's ego is too big because of all the compliments on how great it sounds.
Seriously though, I haven't had a single issue. No creaks, rattles, smells or anything negative to report after 3+ years and 25k miles. I know it's an expensive piece of metal, but it installs easily, makes real tune-able power, and makes the N55 sound like pure f-ing sex.
