I just did a muffler delete on my 15 550i sounds good not tooo loud not too quite ..and yeah I wouldn’t recommend straight piping these cause shit we’ll be loud asf
I also have a 2016 bmw 550i. I currently am running intakes and charge pipes only but am really considering doing downpipe tune soon. Would you recommend to do the car. I mainly don’t want to start running into hella car problems like everyone claims with the n63 but my engine feel completely fine with 50k miles. Would you recommend?
@9:09 felt your pain. Mine was a BIOTCH to get the old ones out and even bigger bear for the new ones to mount to the mid pipe section. Did you install the brackets under neath the car that are supposed to be used to replace the OEM bracket? I optioned to not install mine as they wouldn’t fit. I did get the charge pipes which were super easy to replace.
Took me around 3 1/5 hours to do. And only annoying part is removing the downpipes from the actual exhaust to slide them out. And i mean it runs good on stock tune but i have the check engine light on because the o2’s can read that i don’t have catalytic converters
@@LuisGee the other main issue I ran into was the fitment back into the mid pipe. I could barely get the driver side to seat in more than an inch so I’m running a small exuast leak atm. Any tips ?
Yo bro did you figure out how to take off the check engine light? Cause I see on the arm downpipe website they have a cel delete option ? I’m new to this but would that delete the check engine light?
Don’t even bother with ARM CEL delete kit. The shit doesn’t fit 😒 I returned it. Like he said.. just get an off the shelf tune and you can get the CEL tuned out.
Would you recommend going downpipe intake tune with these cars. My main worry is reliability from what everyone says about these engines but it’s all from people who don’t own them. I do maintain my car good but just wonder if it’s recommended to switch to a different platform like b58
@@nickortiz6434 if you have the N63TU motor your in good shape. Change the oil every 5k miles, get the oil valve that makes your oil temp cooler, upgrade the radiator cap and you’re good to go. However im on the fence about going aftermarket intake as the OEM intakes do a phenomenal job with cooling off the motor and has been proven to cool the car better than the Aftermarket.

Downpipe n muffler delete is all you need
Solid! Doing this today plus ARM intake.

Once it’s tuned 😈
@@LuisGee heat sync tuning ftw!
@@joshsvoboda6712 I’m most likely going with Baski. He has the record for fastest stock turbo n63tu. Right now i atleast have ots bm3 maps
My F15 actually gives me that V8 sound with the burble but I do want an exhaust n down pipes to hear that turbo sounds
good video keep it up i have the same car 2016 BMW 550i fbo stage 2 straight pipe

Which bracket? I didnt have any brackets to install.
So have you noticed anything without the shilds on im doing a turbo replacement rn on my 550i wasthinking about going catless
No i haven’t noticed anything different.
Bro I literally just got arm for my 14 550i. Was the job hard ? Also I wanted to go on stock tune so just curious how the car was running.

@@nickortiz6434 definitely. Follow me in Nicolossgroman I’ll send vids
@@nickortiz6434 if you are looking to tune your car, yes because it will give it a nice bump in horsepower with the downpipes
how did you go about getting the two 11mm nuts off the attach at the trans? i cant get those off to save my life
The ones on the downpipe brackets?
@@LuisGee yeah mine were rusted to hell but I eventually got them off with 4 extensions and a swivel head ratchet lmao

@@joshsvoboda6712 i hit it with a rubber mallet lol and it slid in way more. J had the same issue too
@@LuisGee guess I should have tried that over using my hand lmao. I’ll give that a shot

I would say it’s a 50/50 chance it will. But the right way to do it is to tune the ecu and you can manually turn it off
@@LuisGee okay gotchu so basically safest way to 100% make sure it stays off is to manually do it by tuning the ecu
