Maybe a dumb DP question.

All, I am new to the M2, coming from a race prepped Audi. First, i am shocked at the cost of exhaust systems on this platform, and other than the DP, I don't see any performance for the dollar. Maybe it's just me. Regardless, here is my question. I see a catless DP (I believe from VRSF?) that has an option to delete the associated CEL for $100. Called a cat-fix. I am not quite sure what that means. I don't care about being legal, but I am not a fan of constant CEL codes. So, my question is, can this actually work? Can you just "buy" a fix for the CEL?

I want a DP for the sound, but at over $1k, I can't explain that to the wife! Haha!

You could go with a catless DP and throw in a tune like MHD/BM3. Both should allow you to disable the CEL caused by a catless downpipe. You also get the benefit of actually being able to make use of the downpipe properly with a tune.

We have O2 spacers with small Cats in them. They might work for you.
