Any update here? I heard they revised their downpipe design and flange but not sure if it's completely solved now…
Maybe heat wrap it is… any recommendations on what to use?

Their customer service reached out to me saying send back the downpipes you have and $100 deposit. Once we receive it we'll send you our new revised ones that don't rattle. Pretty sure they just made the downpipe and flange all 1 piece

Right now i've got a set in my garage that came with the o-ring, you're saying they've updated the design again so it's not needed? Might try to get mine exchanged.

A few popular midpipe brands are now offering resonators as options now but I see your point

^^Add an optional resonator with your new mid pipe.

It took my welder literally 5 minutes to tack weld and mine is now problem free. Cost me $20

Are there any alternatives to ARM for resonated down pipes?
Seems like the retailers are all selling catted DPs exclusively now.

Shall i get catted ARM downpipes or catless resonated?
I plan to be running stage 2 some time in the future and question is: if i get catted puts limitation on future power outcome or its barely noticeable? I care little to zero about emissions etc. |

The only catted version that proves it doesn't lose power when tuned is the AA downpipe with GESI cats that cost nearly $3k.

I would get AA w/GESI cats since they are EPA certified in 49 states.
If I was in Europe, then Wagner would be my choice since their cats are EURO 6 certified.

the catless will make a noticeable power difference once your turbos are upgraded. The main reason I got catted was that it sounded better than catless especially when you use it with an aftermarket exhaust

I have the catless arm resonated downpipes for my f80 m3. Installer mentioned a couple ppl complained about rattling. It happened.. emailed ARM they sent the same flange with an o ring. Tried again still rattling.
Can anyone recommend a "heat wrap" or whatever it is to buy. Thanks |

The permanent fix is to ask an exhaust shop to weld a few decent beads from pipe to flange (while installed), not just a tack or two, and don't need the whole thing either.
