N55 DP Wagner vs BMS

I have been going back and forth on whether or not I want to do DPs for my car since it is a DD and I don't know if I want to have it loud every day. I think I have decided I want to go in this direction but a company I trust is recommending a DP brand I don't see many using so I wanted to see if anyone is running the Wagner catted DP for their N55. Wagner DP Link The problem as I see it is the BMS downpipe is almost half the cost and it seems like a lot of people do not see a difference in a DP so what real purpose is there for going with Wagner over BMS. Another concern I have is I have a DCT and it seems people have a stalling issue on that setup with DPs so if you have a Wagner DP have you had this issue?

Let me know what you guys have experienced, thanks.

I would assume the price difference is because the Wagner downpipe is catted vs the bms that is catless. I don't have either brand, but I am running catless and have a dct and do not have any stalling issues.

Thanks for the info on the stalling. I am sure the price is because it's catted, I'm trying to see if anyone is running it, their thoughts and if anyone sees a value in their design with the "flexpipe".

yes that`s the reason!

I have to Wagner and it sounds great but it doesn`t throw a code!
It`s a great product!

Catless DP will have a lot more gain than Catted DP.
People saying they do not notice difference need to log their cars and compare turbo boost with Catted and catless DP

Not taking anything from Wagner but the reason why it does not throw a code is because its catted . Not because it is a better product BMS
