Cell Count on Cats in OEM DP?
Been trying to look for the info, including searching M3/M4 forums, however haven't seen anything official, just speculation. But does anyone know the cell count on stock DP cats on the M2C? Not sure as well if there's a difference in cell count when it comes to US vs. EU cats (someone had mentioned this might be the case on M3/M4 forums due to the difference in emission standards). Lastly, is it worth it going from stock DPs to high flow DPs (for the individuals that don't want to go catless)? M3/M4 forums mentioned that OEM cats flows pretty well already, so debating whether it's worth it for the money to switch from OEM to aftermarket high flow cats.

I dont have any official info on the CEL count for stock cats. If you are tuning your car, upgrading the downpipe is worth it

The N55 M2 only has one primary cat and it is 600 cell. With US-spec M2C's I believe they have two 400 cell primaries and two 200 cell secondaries. This may be wrong, however, so don't quote me on that.
In the EU it gets more complicated as they have OPFs instead of secondaries. I'm not sure how the OPFs affect total cell count but I would assume they raise it. If you have a car without OPF I absolutely think HFC's would be worthwhile as you get less lag and more sound, usually without a CEL, smoke, or smells. The only downside is the price. If you have an OPF car however, I would advise you to do some research before pulling the trigger as there may be adverse effects such as a CEL and/or damage to the OPF. I think a good person to ask about this would be @MR. He made a great post explaining M2C exhausts and OPF's: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...9#post25263099 |
