- Stainless steel construction – durable and reliable
- Improved turbo spool and throttle response
- Direct bolt-on – uses OE mounting points
Material & Construction
This downpipe is made of high-quality stainless steel (T304) with TIG-welded connections. It's available in catless (maximum flow) or high-flow cat (200-cell sports catalyst) versions. Both options are optimized for maximum flow and minimal backpressure.
The downpipe replaces the restrictive original catalytic converter and significantly improves exhaust flow. This results in a gain of +15 hp and +25 Nm of power, better turbo spooling, and improved throttle response. Suitable for E82 (coupe), E88 (convertible) 135i and E90 (sedan), E92 (coupe) 335i with N55 engine. Stage 2 tuning required for optimal performance.
Installation & Assembly
The downpipe is a direct bolt-on replacement. Remove the original downpipe and catalytic converter. Install the new downpipe using the original mounting points. Use new gaskets and bolts. Stage 2 tuning is required to prevent CEL (check engine light) and achieve optimal performance. Professional installation is highly recommended.
