I wonder.... if it's a Euro vs US version.... and I wonder if it's BECAUSE of those charcoal filters?

I don't think a 7hp increase is out of the question, when you consider you're removing half the airflow restriction.
The 530 hp rating is the German/EU 'PS' metric horsepower equivalent to US 523 hp.
True. What i've also noticed now is that the EU OPFs are now integrated in the cats starting with MY20. Mine was fabricated in 08.2019 and the OPFs where before the mid-pipe (which i've removed when tuned it and lost it). I've ordered a new mid-pipe from the dealer based on my VIN and he said that info.
