S2 owners with racing cats - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Do any S2 owners have racing cats such as the supersprint ones? If so how do you like the setup? Also any check engine lights or performance issues?

I would contact Fast5. Rob I believe has at one time or another had SS cats and X pipe on his S2 which has been converted to an S3.

Check engine will come on when outside temp is below 50 degrees as well as over 90 but it takes between 40 miles and 400 miles

warm up also effects how fast it comes on if you start and drive away after air pump turns off you didnt let them warm up enough... (metallic cats)...

I'm pretty sure PowerChip has a software workaround to address the CEL.

WHy are you always asking about an S2? Until you install headers you will not be close to an S2. Just get headers, they are under 3k now.

I was told that the SS header put out more hp and the dinan put out more torque. Can anyone confirm this? Is it true. Obviously torque is more important. Are they both comparable? What is the better bang for the buck and which give the better gain for the buck?

Bang for the buck SS. You will not notice the power or torque difference between the two.

Has anyone had the s2 setup and used racing cats such as the Super sprint race cats with this? I am looking for people who had stage 5 or 6 dinan software and the racing cats. My question is does a SES light come on due to the racing cats?
