Active Autowerke F8x BMW M2C / M3 / M4 Downpipes w GESI G-Sport Cats

[herbotis]

Was considering this downpipe with my gts tune. Would it be worth it in power gains? The sound benefit is a close tie for me.

The gains with the OTS maps is ~ 10-15 more HP and TQ

We also offer the Jordan Tune OTS+ maps, which are off-the-shelf maps that do not need any datalogging and will give you much more power than the PTF off-the-shelf maps.

First I hear of the Jordan Tune OTS maps.
Can you show a comparison between those and the PTF OTS?
Also, one would still need to purchase the PTF multi-map bundle, correct?

I don't have direct comparison data, but Jordan Tuning has gained popularity with their custom maps requiring data logging and adjustments based on the provided logs.

They've recently begun offering OTS+ maps. These are more powerful than the typical off-the-shelf (OTS) maps provided by Bootmod3 but don't require data logging.

These OTS+ maps are balanced by being more aggressive than your standard OTS maps but not as aggressive as fully custom maps. This makes them safe to use without data logging, as long as you use the recommended fuel and have the suggested modifications for each map.

Just installed this. Fit and finish is perfect. Car seems to rev more freely and noise increase is subtle. No CEL. No smell on startup. I'm on a OTS GTS tune using BM3.

I passed my inspection with these installed. Wasn't sniff test but diagnostic. Ran my base tune for a week and went in and came out with no issues.

Got a CEL popping up. Called AA and advised to clear it. Was OK for a day, but popped up again today (2 days later). Will clear and see what happens. Cel doesn't cause any sort of issue driving the car that I can tell. Will continue clearing the error but assuming it should permanently go away after the cats are broken in as mentioned by AA.

I never had a CEL once with these, you might want to double check install.

This is an endless issue for me....
I' m using KATLESS Akra DP (which is ESSENTIAL) PARTICULARLY if you go over with the tuning. In the mid I replaced everything with an empty pipe (remus I SUPPOSE) , MUFFLER STOCK. Now with flap open you cannot hear what you think ... and the police is dangerous. I looked for a couple of 200 cel Kat in the mid but there is no enough room, I should tight it by some mm which loose power.,...

if you clear it a few times and it comes back, open a warranty claim with Active and they will take care of it.

This is a significant plus for me as a vendor, and one of the main reasons i firmly push the active autowerke brand.

They have stellar support and stand 100% behind their products. They won't try to weasel themselves out of a warranty replacement.

Great to hear. Did they cover labor costs also?

Highly doubt it, i work with 150 brands, none of them cover labor costs.
