If you're diving into the world of high-performance BMWs, you probably know that the factory diverter valves can be a bit of a bottleneck when you're pushing for those higher boost levels. That’s where the Evolution Racewerks Diverter Valve Charge Pipe comes into play. Born from the rigorous demands of the Evolution Racewerks 135i Time Attack program, this piece is all about optimizing your ride for maximum performance.

Let’s be real: the stock diverter valve charge pipe isn't exactly designed for the kind of airflow dynamics you want when you're chasing down every ounce of power. It has this annoying sound baffle that splits the airflow, creating turbulence that can really mess with your throttle response and add to turbo lag. Who wants that? By ditching the baffle, this charge pipe keeps the charge intake air moving smoothly, which means you get quicker throttle response and less lag. It’s a simple swap, but it makes a world of difference when you're on the track or just enjoying a spirited drive.

Made from lightweight, high-grade 6061 aluminum, this charge pipe is not just about looks; it’s built to last. The 3-inch piping is matched to your throttle body, ensuring a snug fit that minimizes leaks. Plus, the precision CNC machined flanges mean you won’t have to worry about any airflow issues—everything connects seamlessly. And those beaded ends with T-bolt clamps? They’re there to keep your intercooler piping firmly in place, even when the boost kicks in.

Installation is a breeze, too. All the hardware you need is included, so you can get back to enjoying your ride without any unnecessary headaches. And if you’re running factory diverter valves or aftermarket ones, this charge pipe has you covered. It’s designed to work with both, giving you flexibility depending on how you want to set up your car.

Oh, and let’s not forget the limited lifetime warranty. That’s Evolution Racewerks backing their product, which is a nice peace of mind when you’re pushing your car to its limits.
