Next mods on n26

Cnoprea · 04-17-2017, 08:51 PM

So I have a 328i xdrive 2013 and I have a bms stage 1, injen intake, and catless er downpipe. While I know stage 2 would help out a lot more is there anything else to do in terms of power or mods to make the car more responsive. I really do think I'm at the perfect level of power, but also wishing to get an m performance muffler or active autowerks (still undecided).

Can you please share how are you managing the check engine light with the catless down pipe? With having only a stage 1, did the DP make a difference? I always thought you need stage 2.

The check engine just isn't appearing I guess the stage 1 took care of it which is very nice. Also the car has a lot better response and it does make a difference in the butt dyno.

Yeah honestly I'm not sure why it's not showing a check engine light but I guess it's a plus and I don't mind it for sure

If you are looking for power, i would do intercooler ... With summer temps your IAT is going to get really high with your stock FMIC and you will start losing power.

Also +1 for the active autowerke exhaust

It takes a few weeks for the CEL to show up. As far as response goes, FMIC and upgraded charge pipe should take care of everything.
