AFE down pipe n55

New21er · 01-10-2012, 07:37 PM

Any comments/ opinons on this?? Just saw it in the new Roundel mag.

Most N55 downpipes are extremely similar. Either save yourself some cash and get the BMS n55 downpipe for 380$ or go for the RSI turboback downpipe for 800$.

The aFe N55 downpipe looks awesome in person. They claim a gain of 14hp and 39lb ft torque at 1900RPM.

any word on what part of the warranty this will void, if any? im very close to buying it

dicker · 01-16-2012, 08:50 PM

anything engine or emissions related.

So would you need to get the car tuned for this? Because i have the PPK, and if it needed a tune, wouldnt it wipe out the ppk tune?

Gnip Gnop · 01-17-2012, 12:36 PM

Anyone?

You wouldn't have to get a tune for this, but you may have to look into the 02 sensor performance. It looks like they have included a spacer/defouler, so maybe AFE has O2 sensor management as part of the kit. We haven't seen one yet in the shop so I don't know.

Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for!
Yeah I was thinking they included a spacer.

Off topic but you have the best car combination I could ever ask for!

May be a dumb question but, does this eliminate the cat?

Focusedintntions · 01-22-2012, 02:01 PM

Yes it eliminates the cat...it replaces it.

Does anyone have this installed?
