Catless Downpipes

Did quite some search on the forum and couldn't find any consistent answer. Apologies, if I missed the right thread for this:

1) How much difference in whp do catless downpipes make?

2) How much difference in sound do catless downpipes make?

I have only seen videos and posts where catless downpipes were part of multiple other tweaks, most notably exhaust mods. So it is really hard to see/hear the difference of just catless dps over a bone stock exhaust system.

Thanks for your insights.

50whp+ with just the catless dp's, more if you have a tune
probably 30% increase i would guess

all you really need is catless dp and tune and you will be making a bunch of power

Couple of thousand miles. They have miniature kats in them, so it can't throw a cel. About half an inch thick.

I will say that the F10 M5's CEL is very discreet and sort of not visible when you are driving cause it is hidden by the steering wheel. I have my canceled by the old burger CAN tool but they no longer sell that. I did drive with the CEL for a few months cause it didn't bother me. lol

Supersprint got 8 whp from FULL exhaust with high flow cats. Removing the high flow race cats is not worth anywhere near 42+ whp.

Spinny02, did u try to switch off the start button while u r in Neutral gear? On a running engine I think u can't clear it, engine must be switched off while key ignition still on. Try out n let me know whether it works? Mine was ok.
