$1424.00

When it comes to upgrading your BMW, the Active Autowerke F-Chassis N20 Signature downpipe is a game changer. This isn’t just another aftermarket part; it’s a solid piece of engineering that really understands what your ride needs. With its hefty 3.5-inch stainless steel piping, you can expect more power and a quicker turbo spool, which means your car will respond like a dream. Plus, it’s built to last, so you won’t be worrying about durability anytime soon.

One of the standout features is the 4-inch GESI ultra high-flow catalytic converter. This isn’t just any cat; it’s designed to keep your check engine light off, which is a huge relief. The GESI G-Sport Ultra High Output Catalytic Converter is made from full 304 stainless steel, and it’s not just tough—it’s also EPA registered and compliant in 49 states, which means you can hit the road without any worries about emissions. The proprietary precious metal loading technology is a game changer for reducing emissions, so you can enjoy the extra power without feeling guilty about the environment.
