I know a few guys running downpipes and stage 2 tune without any issues but they haven't had the car long enough to tell plus they don't really push the car hard. Not like we race these things like I did on my F10 M5 LOL.
I imagine if you're not pushing the car and doing back to back high speed runs and keeping up with maintenance, should be fine I'd imagine.
Project Gamma is a reputable manufacturer and has some downpipes for our cars. Little bit more expensive but it's a quality product.

I agree. It’s more for the sound aspect of it honestly. I’m not going to be driving my 7 like a M car. I just want the sound of the turbo spool there
Do you happen to know which downpipes their running?
