Hey Mr. Johnson.. Man I appreciate all your videos. You've helped me more than you will ever know. Always been somewhat nervous about doing things myself until I actually see how your approach certain mods. On this occasion I am going to install a RVG downpipe. Again because I saw your video I'm going to tackle it myself. I just went muffler delete. For me the drone was a bit much between 2500 and 3000 rpm, so last week I ordered Valvetronic mufflers. Should be delivered mid next week. Now in your vid you went catless. I've seen a couple articles about rvg's catted with all good reviews. Also I happened to speak to Valentine at RVG (who sold me a 6wb cluster coded to my vin), and he made it clear that the power difference between the catted and catless is minimal, but I was worried about the fumes, so I'll try catted. Still the price is way less than half of other brands but like you said the build quality is great, so why not?? I've got a 2013 535i m sport and my only mods are k&n cold air, HPS charge pipe, and MHD tuner with the full license. Other than Burger Tuning wheel spacers, and a small trunk spoiler everything on the outside is stock. Would love to either go coil overs, or springs for a small drop, but that my friend is something I won't attempt myself. I know you kept the 6wb cluster and I totally understand. They make a world of difference with day to day driving. Did you put the Bimmer8 speed limit emulator on yours? I did. They are surprisingly accurate, and it adds a nice touch to the cluster. After seeing you change you steering wheel I did the same. I found a nice M5 tri stitched with paddles on Ebay. A bit pricey, but well worth it especially since I too didn't have paddles on my m sport wheel, but luckily mine was already wired for it. Anyway I've written way more than you probably care to read, but again I just wanted to thank you for all your knowledge and the time you put into your videos helping guys like myself.. Take care!

Lol. The airbag was from my old basic steering wheel. When I bought my M Sport wheel I didn’t realize the airbag was different. I have replaced it now.

You can run a downpipe without a tune, however you will get a check engine light due to the secondary O2 sensor reading the same emissions as the primary.

@@AnonFox007 As far as I know a flash tune the only fix. I currently run a Jb4 and have to delete the codes multiple times a day. I will be adding a tune soon.

You're as bad as I am about working under the car without glasses on. Never going to learn. lol

Lol! Yeah, I have to have safety glasses at work, so I always forget them there. Definitely would have been good to have them on for this.

Not a fun job working on seized bolts. Nice work!!!

you needs ramps and jack stands, that's very unsafe to depend on a car jack

Yeah, I would like to pick up some ramps to add to my setup. I always use Jack stands when I put the car in the air.

Thanks for watching.

Like your videos, but am fearful for your safety. Do yourself a favor and wear safety glasses so crap doesn't take out your eyes. Also, doing stuff on just jack stands or worse yet a jack can get you seriously hurt or killed. Also, the O2 sensors are color coded on the inside of them (one is yellow).

Thanks for your concern. Safety first. Anytime I’m under the car, I try to make sure I’m on ramps/jackstands and I add a Jack for extra protection.
