I'm about to get an ER next month as well. Gonna need it since I'm about to pick up a Cobb AP to fix the catless DP CEL.

Cobb hasn't released the Stage 2 maps for the N55, so you are going to be stuck with the CEL for downpipes as of now. Stage 2 and 2+ maps are only available for N54 equipped cars.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo. Is there any DP fix for N55? Or an ETA on Stage 2 for N55?

I'm not familiar with a downpipe fix for the N55, but the stage 2 maps are probably a few months away according to Cobb: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=780709

No DP Fix available, and there won't be. JB4 auto clear is your best option at this point.

You use the auto clear feature, right? Is it inconvenient or does it's thing in the background?

Thanks for the tip, I emailed them hoping to get more info. I'll come back with my findings.

It does it's thing in the back ground. You never see it, it auto clears the DP CEL. Any other light will still show on the CEL for a second, and then be cleared if need be. I threw 2 Overboost codes yesterday, and still saw them, but the DP o2 codes never throw anymore. Pretty awesome imho.

Only problem is you won't pass an OBDII emissions test without the DP fix. The auto clear is awesome but your car will never attain a "readiness" state required to pass emissions.

Thank you, both of you, for the clarification and awesome insight.
