If you’re looking to unlock some serious power in your BMW, let me tell you about the Competition Series Catless Downpipe. This isn’t just another upgrade; it’s a game changer for turbocharged engines. You might not realize it, but the factory catalytic converter is a major bottleneck in your exhaust system. It’s got this honeycomb structure that exhaust gases have to squeeze through, which creates a ton of turbulence and really slows things down. That’s where this downpipe comes in.
By swapping out the stock downpipe and catalytic converter for this catless version, you’re not just making a change; you’re opening the floodgates for exhaust flow. And trust me, you’ll feel the difference right away. The S68 Engine has four catalytic converters in total—two primary and two secondary. Our downpipe takes out both the primary and secondary sections, giving you a smoother, more direct path for those exhaust gases.
So what’s in it for you? Well, the first thing you’ll notice is the boost in horsepower and torque. The power curve is higher, and the torque hits faster and stays strong for longer. Plus, the throttle response is snappier, and you’ll experience quicker turbo spool-up times. It’s like your car just woke up from a nap.
Construction-wise, we’re talking about 100% stainless steel here, with mandrel-bent 3-inch piping that ensures a smooth transition to your exhaust system. All the welds are TIG welded for durability, and the turbocharger V-band flange is CNC machined for precision. You can choose between a mirror polish or a brushed finish, and if you want to keep things cooler under the hood, there’s an option for a high-temperature black thermal coating.
Installation is a breeze, too. It retains the factory slip-on connection, so whether you’re running a stock or aftermarket exhaust system, it’ll fit right in. We’ve even included all the hardware you need for a complete install, and you can rest easy knowing it’s been track-tested for durability.
And just to cover all the bases, this downpipe is compatible with a range of models, including:
In short, if you’re serious about performance and want to unleash the full potential of your BMW, the Evolution Racewerks Catless Downpipe is the way to go. Plus, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so you know it’s built to last. Get ready to feel that power!
