If you’re like me and you love squeezing every bit of power out of your ride, you know that the exhaust system can be a real bottleneck, especially if you've got a turbocharged engine. Those factory catalytic converters? They're notorious for holding back horsepower and torque. The way they’re designed with those tiny “honeycomb” weaves means exhaust gases have to fight their way through, creating a ton of turbulence and slowing everything down. It’s frustrating, right? But here’s where our Competition Series Catless Downpipe comes into play—it’s a game changer.
This bad boy is crafted from 100% 304 grade stainless steel, which means it’s built to last and can handle the heat without breaking a sweat. Our in-house fabricators TIG weld each piece, ensuring top-notch quality. Plus, we’ve CNC machined the turbocharger's V-Band flange from solid billet stainless steel, so you know it’s not going anywhere. The O2 sensor is positioned right where it should be, and we’ve kept the factory donut flange design for a seamless fit. It’s truly a bolt-on upgrade.
What I love about our downpipes is how they fit perfectly with both the factory exhaust system and any aftermarket setups you might have. No compatibility headaches here—just straightforward installation. And when it comes to aesthetics, you can choose between a brushed finish or a mirror polish. If you’re looking to keep things cooler under the hood, we even offer a high-temperature black thermal coating.
Now, let’s talk performance. You’ll notice a higher max horsepower power curve and a torque curve that hits faster and stays strong longer. Throttle response improves, and turbo spool-up times get quicker, making your driving experience way more enjoyable. With mandrel bent 3” piping, you’ll get a smooth transition to the exhaust system, which is crucial for maximizing flow.
For those with the S68 engine, we’ve got the Sport Series High Flow Catted Secondary Downpipes that replace just the secondary section, so you can still use your factory or aftermarket secondary downpipes without a hitch. It’s all about flexibility and performance here.
Fitment:
So, if you’re ready to unleash the true potential of your BMW, our Catless Secondary Downpipe is the way to go. It’s all about getting that extra edge on the road, and trust me, you’ll feel the difference the moment you hit the gas.
