New downpipe and turbo inlet.
Hello,
I am new to the BMW M world. I bought a stock 2018 M2 about 7-8 months ago and I am doing my first MOD/upgrade this weekend. I recently purchased a Fabspeed Sports CAT downpipe and Pure Turbo inlet pipe. I did my homework and purchased all the clamps and bolts for the DP install, below is the list. Clamp (DP to mid-pipe) - 18307620349 ($32.00) Clamp (turbo to DP) - 18307606136 ($34.00) Gasket (turbo to DP) - 18307581970 ($22.00) Bolt - 07119904992 ($0.61) Nut - 18307525607 ($1.40) Stiffening Plate (Need 8 Bolts) - 33326768354 ($3.31/each) Cold start Video of the day I purchased. https://vimeo.com/406189819 |

Welcome! Looks good, interested in hearing how it sounds after the mods. Will the Sport Cat pass the TÜV?

Good stuff!
I also didn't know the new pure inlet had the retaining bracket, which is a nice addition.

I personally like the pure one better because it is all metal.

It only needs to be replaced if it's really corroded, I personally just do it anyways because why not since it is going to be out anyways.

Yes, I saw that also but, I emailed them and they confirmed that the new version does have the retention bracket.

Yes those clamps have "teeth" that are really delicate, but if you are careful enough you can still save them.

Good to know, but If I ever get a CEL with the FS sportcat I'd just replace it with one from Remus so I can finally stop having to explaining my Frankenstein exhaust set up to everyone and their mother, lol

My Upgrade is now complete, took my mechanic 3 hours. I am very happy with the additional HP and sound.
See video for before and after sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bldV-fgpAU0 |
