The BMW F10 M5 is the first M designated 5 series to feature forced induction. With Strict emission laws and excessive tax for cars with high fuel consumption, large displacement engines are a thing of the past. Most manufactures are now producing turbo charged vehicles to create power rather than larger engine displacement. With this being said, there are greater gains to be had from aftermarket exhaust systems and ecu tuning on a turbo vehicle. The key is having as minimal back pressure as possible after the turbo charger. This is usually achieved from larger, less restrictive, down-pipes and exhaust system.

The vehicle shown in the video below is James (@VividracingJames) McKibben. His 2013 M5 was quite a beast straight from the BMW factory, but like any other automotive enthusiast, he believed there were changes that needed to be made. He had already done several visual upgrades to the car, so now he was focused on raw performance. A Turbo Back Exhaust (TBE) was top priority in order to see improvement in performance. ArmyTrix is one of best high end exhaust system that money can buy, so naturally this is the route that he went. This company specializes in valvetronic mufflers and performance free flowing exhaust systems. For certain applications such as the M5, they also have available down pipes to eliminate any restriction after the turbo.
One unique feature of the Armytrix exhaust system is the use of their phone controlled app, which allows you to monitor and adjust parameters for the vehicle and exhaust system. The standard FOB control is still available, so now you have a choice of how you would like to control the valve system. The application also allows you to save monitors to easily access them later on. This is key for data logging and tracking performance.
Another cool feature of Armytrix exhaust systems is the ability to customize your tip options. You can also opt for the available ceramic coating on the down-pipes. This ensures power robbing heat stays away from your turbos / engine. The available tip options are the standard Chrome/polished, Matte Black and the Blue/Titanium style. Matte black / Titanium options do carry a slight up charge, but can completely change the look of your rear end.
