I'm looking to install downpipes.

I'm looking to install some downpipes, I have a F06 650i Xdrive. Which company would be the best to go with?

Just google it, there's only a few companies out there that make them, also check ebay and any vendors here for a deal or a used set. Understand that you will have a check engine light and reduced power per the dyno's we have seen. There is no tuning solution for the N63TU that I know of that controls the o2 sensors like a JB4 or similar would on other cars like the M5/6.

That sucks man, that really SUCKS! So, my best bet is an exhaust system?

Get a BMS tune, Exhaust, and the cold air intake from that site. That's about all you can do with the N63TU in regards to performance for now. Unless there's something new and I haven't heard of it yet.

Evolution Racewerks is one of the best in the market.
I have yet to experiment with O2 CEL.
I have some idea on how to get it cleared automatically.
Hopefully I can get to play around with it in the next couple weeks.

Dinan can give a big boost towards performance, it just costs a pretty penny. I was looking into the N63tu cold air intake on N63airintake.com.

Well, let me know the outcome. I'm just trying to have most these things done before summer.

That's not the only issue.. Any dyno that was done with downpipes showed a loss of power compared to an N63TU with stock pipes on. It's not just the cell, but it's also an issue with tuning.

That intake is the only real available option and it's awesome! Also BMS will put down more power over Dinan and costs a fraction, also installs and can be removed in under 5mins.

Yeah, I love the sound. How would you go about changing the filter or, because it's a cold air intake the filter doesn't need changing? I'll take a look into BMS.

You change the entire intake system, or they have an option for just the performance drop in filters. If you do the full system it comes with two filters that sit behind the kidney grills.
