VRSF Sport Cat downpipe?!?

Anyone running the new VRSF sport cat downpipe? Curious about quality and whether anyone is getting cel light.

I don't see a "no cel" guarantee so I'd pass.

It's a popular product for us. Perfect for a customer looking for the additional power from higher flow downpipes without the extra noise or fuel smell you get from the catless option.

I recommend using this downpipe with a flash tune

How about running one without a tune, I know the fabspeed has pretty much a guaranteed no Cel light.

You do not get a " no CEL guarantee " with this downpipe.

The downpipe does not guarantee a no CEL. There is a possibility that you get check engine light is installed on a stock car

Sorry to bring up an on thread Mike but I've recently just had a VRSF sports cat installed on my 2015 M235i and the fitter had two problems.

One of them being that there's no bracket and the other being when fully tightened the cat to the manifold doensn't line up perfectly - thus eventually creating a possible leak. (potentially)

Do you know of any way around this or if you can possibly advise me at all?

Any help would be great!

For anyone still looking for a sportcat, I would highly recommend the FabSpeed. It has a bracket, and I haven't had any CEL issues with 4,000 miles on it over the last few months.

I'm using that exact sportcat. Absolutely zero issues during install and after. Customer service is really good too. Add a tune though to get max benefits

Try to get it lined up before you tighten it at all, but reach out - Curious for an answer
