G30 540i VRSF Sports cat

Hi all,

Hope everyone is well.

I want to hopefully get some insight from this amazing community around the VRSF B58 Sports Cat.

For those that have fitted one did you get the CEL light come on? I don't want to tune my car at this stage so I am hoping others will share their experiences.

Thanks again in advance
Paul

You will trigger the check engine light with this downpipe.

If you do not want the CEL, get the active autowerke downpipe.

Thanks Mike.

I have heard mixed things about the VRSF Downpipe, I hear Wagner make a 300 Cell one that does not trigger CEL light ?

I would be more worried about the issues related to driving with the VRSF sports cat fitted and not being tuned for it, possible boost spikes etc. I wouldn't fit one unless getting tuned to benefit from the extra flow. If you just want more exhaust volume do a res delete or cat back system. If I remember you are in the UK, look at MLperformance for exhaust options.
