The last two performance mods I want to do to my 8 are a downpipe and cold air intake. Nothing crazy, and yes, I know, I've done extensive research, and I fully understand the gains are basic, especially without a tune. First off, I don't plan on getting a tune because in 2017, apparently finding a MM preloaded Accessport is like finding an ancient relic. Or, I can take it to a shop, but I'd rather the control at my fingertips even with a more basic Cobb AP tune.
That being said, I would simply like to get an AEM Cai and downpipe - which I'm debating right now - to add to my catback and upgraded ignition system. That's all I want to do performance-wise. Now I know I will order the AEM, but I'm looking for suggestions on which midpipe I should add to my turboxs catback. Currently I have the OEM cat with only 11k miles on it. It seems fine, but to my understanding it is very restrictive due to emissions regulations and I would like to free up that extra HP.
I would prefer a high-flow catted DP because I don't want a CEL or the stench. I've come to understand that most catted dps won't display a CEL, especially on the earlier models. This leaves with only two options really (dps w/ cats), being turboxs and BHR. Now the difference is $220 which is quite a deal, vs $600. I'm sure quality vs quality, the BHR is better, but for 1/3 of the price I was almost set to order the Turboxs one tonight. Thankfully I did some more research, and just when everything seemed all good to go, I realized that the turboxs DP has terrible clearance issues. Go figure, I'm on coilovers. The last thing I want is this thing exploding when I hit a bump in the road.
This leaves me with one other realistic option (that I'm aware of) being the BHR catted dp. What do you guys think? Am I missing any other catted downpipes here? It seems like everything is / are catless racepipes out there.

Another downpipe / midpipe question (s) :D
