Akrapovic downpipe vs every other downpipe

I am going to go with catted. I have a convertible and I don't want the smell. So a catted one is for me.

With that said, I narrowed it down to the following:

fabspeed/HJS Euro-6 compliant (300 CEL) I believe it is the same one on Extreme Powerhouse here

Evolution Racewerks catted linked here

There are also offerings from Wagner and CG-Precision as well, all here

HOWEVER, there is this .The grand daddy of them all catted ones. Here is my question: why is this so much more than the others? Does it justify the cost? It has the same ECE-compliant HJS cats as the Fabspeed/HJS one above.. so why so expensive? Almost double the price of Evolution up there.

I don't mind spending if quality is there.

Help me choose please! Educate me!

Thank you for checking out our website.

Some downpipes are more expensive than others because of the quality of cats used (Akrapovic, Active Autowerke, Fabspeed, and Wagner)
With higher quality cats, you have a better chance of no CEL. Some of these brands even offer no CEL guarantee.

In terms of quality of the welding and finish, I dont think Akrapovic downpipe is better than AR Design, Evolution Racewerks, Active Autowerke or Wagner.

Yes thank you! Let's keep it to that thread as the 2-series forums can be a bit... dead.

I posted couple of questions for you in that thread.

Depends on what your emissions test is. In Pa we hook up a computer to the obd port and run tests. Basically if your cel is on then it fails. If it's off then you pass. Technically there isn't a visual inspection for emissions but there is a visual inspection for safety so depends on who's looking at the car here.
