N54 midpipes on N55 xdrive?

eyehategod · 05-11-2018, 11:35 AM

Hey all - I just ordered VRSF Catless DP for my E92 N55 xdrive. I'm going to have my mechanic put this on because I've heard how much of a bitch it is on the xdrive. I've heard that some people throw N54 midpipes onto their N55 to reduce the smell produced by the catless DP. Is this an option on my E92 N55 xdrive? What all would I need to purchase, and if I did purchase, is it easiest to just have my mechanic do this at the same time he does the downpipe?

Doesn't the XDrive N55 already have the secondary cats in the midpipes? My rwd doesn't but I thought the AWD did for some reason.

If not you can have an exhaust shop weld in some cats. Might be easier than trying to find a whole N54 cat back. My cat back is all one piece so it would be a pain to go pick up from someone on Craigslist or where ever.
