If emission is a concern, you will need a downpipe that does not trigger the check engine light.
Active Autowerke is an excellent option.

If emission is not a concern, as AmuroRay suggested, get the MAD one, the price/value is hard to beat.

Thanks! Will the Boodmod3 Stage 2 tune clear the CEL from a MAD or VRSF catted DP?

It will - I think there may be a sale on BOOTMOD, as Mike from XpH

Yes. There is. A very good sale of which I took advantage. I just started a new thread about my Bootmod3 trials and tribulations.

Congrats

Update:
1. Replace charge pipe. Done. VRSF
2. Replace intercooler. You have to drop the intercooler to change the charge pipe so you might as do both at the same time. Done.
VRSF
3. Change down pipe. Not thinking catless. Thinking high-flow. Not done. Leaning towards staying with VRSF. Catted version
4. BM3 or similar tune. Done. Stage 1 Bootmod3 and transmission flash
5. Air intake. Not done. Leaning towards this Injen: https://x-ph.com/injen-bmw-f-chassis...35-injevo1107/
6. Suspension upgrades. Not done. Not really done any research.
7. New Dinan coils and NGK 1-step-colder plugs.

Very happy with the stage 1 tune. The difference is significant. My friends who have driven it before and after the tune are super impressed.

Saving my pennies now for an Autowerks down pipe so I can go stage 2. Also probably going to need new brakes before long.
