Edit: and now that I think about another friend with a BW catless xpipe and an ESS tune doesn't complain about anything. Could perfectly be coincidence, I'm sure the Alpine tune is just fine.


The Bimmerworld xpipe is a high power design like the ESS one and many others, with an X as forward as possible
I had stock x pipe and Alpine Stage 1. Everything was perfect.

Then I installed bimmerworld x pipe and Stage 2 and I started to experience some pre-detonation sometimes.

But I learned to live with it. Just stay higher than 2500 rpm. Lol

I wouldn't blame a tune for that. I think it is a combination of factors. I was flushing the ECU to stock and Stage 1, but the issue was still there
I never said or thought that it's the tune, I have said that the problem showed up after installing the x-pipe and the tune has completely nothing to do with it. I just mentioned that I thought that a stage 2 tune will fix that, but it didn't, which doesn't say anything bad about it either.

Curious why SYT didn't ever have such problems with that xpipe then.

I got another Emissions check engine yesterday evening, I'm very curious what's that. I'll read that later and let you know.
