Supersprint has a killer sale right now, I think through the end of the month (20% off). I sometimes wish I had just gone with Supersprint from the headers all the way back, but $$$. The section straight pipes themselves aren't too bad, especially right now.

If it is, then I'd have to either go the high flow cat route or keep my stock pipes and just switch em when that time for inspection comes but I also worry about getting pulled over often

Still, I like the idea of eliminating what must be the most restrictive part of the exhaust path that remains, and kind of go through this in my head every year when Supersprint has their sale, lol. Maybe I'll take the plunge one day.

And some people don't like the drone it creates on some setups. I contemplated it when switching over to the MagnaFlow setup as you could get their cat-back with resonator which I did, or you could get their other setup which hooked straight to the headers and was straight piped to their muffler. It was listed for the 135i...but worked on the 128i as well. It's an easier install as you don't have to cut any pipes. I went with the other because it was something like $600 cheaper, plus I didn't want any excess drone or smell of gas.

I know I have a friend with AA headers on an otherwise stock exhaust 328...and you can't even tell his car has headers.

Just deleted secondary cats,had stainless straight pieces welded in. Otherwise stock exhaust w/Golf T mod. N52. Was looking for a subtle increase. Don't know that I really got it. Very slight improvement if any. A little more noticeable at full throttle maybe. According to a couple of dynos I've seen there's a few hp there, 5-9, but that's not anything you're going to feel. My exhaust guy said on his car he noticed a slight improvement in mpg (non-BMW) from 12 ltrs/100k to 11 ltrs/100k. After living with this for a while now I'm coming to like it more. There's a little more base in the tone of the exhaust a better sound throughout the range. It's a subtle change, but for me this might be just right.

If I were to proceed with deleting my secondary cats, will I have fitment issues with active autowerke headers? I saw a post about it on a different thread but the member was referring to their e90, and the only suitable brand that fit their secondary delete was AFE. Can someone clarify this, please?
