ARM cat-less downpipe field report

Fitted the ARM cat-less downpipes to my M550i without a cel and without a tune.
They have these spacers for the secondary o2 sensors and they work.
Sound is really better and you can even hear the turbos spooling.
Fun times !

I have the ARM downpipes on my m550i and I have issues with exhaust leaks, do you have similar issues? I noticed them right where the ARM provided clamps connect to the exhaust.

No leaks ... yet.
The fitting was definitely a pain though. The bolt support didn't match up and the angle on the vband wasn't just right and the o2 holes were a bit further in and not aligned to the cover.
I'd say with a little quality control these issues could be overcome.

do you have any pictures of the stock downpipes? I don't want to run catless so I would like to put a high flow cat in-line.

Had some slight issue with aligning the o2 sensor, other than that they fit fine
