Bring your N55-powered BMW to life with this 3.5" Race Downpipe, engineered for models equipped with the pneumatic wastegate (PWG) turbocharger. By replacing the restrictive factory catalytic converter, this downpipe unleashes the performance your turbo was built for:
-
Faster turbo spool and sharper throttle response
-
Aggressive exhaust tone that transforms the driving experience
-
Proven dyno gains – +25–30whp with tuning
-
Optimized airflow for smoother power and high-boost reliability
Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel, this downpipe features mandrel-bent 3.5" tubing to maintain consistent flow, TIG-welded joints for strength, and a CNC-machined stainless flange for a perfect, leak-free seal. Installation is direct bolt-on with OEM hardware — no cutting or welding required.
