If you're serious about getting more out of your ride, you know that the exhaust system plays a huge role in performance—especially if you’re rocking a turbocharged engine. The stock setup can really hold you back, particularly that factory catalytic converter in the downpipe. It’s like trying to breathe through a straw; the exhaust gases get all choked up, which means less horsepower and torque for you. That honeycomb design in the factory cat? It’s a bottleneck, causing turbulence and slowing down the flow. Not ideal, right?
That’s where our Sports Series High Flow Metallic Catted Downpipe comes in. We’ve designed this bad boy to clear out those restrictions. With a 200 cell metallic core, we’ve got fewer, but larger cells that let exhaust gases pass through much easier. This means higher flow rates, which translates to more power, quicker turbo spool-up, and snappier throttle response. In short, it makes your ride feel faster and more alive.
What’s cool about our metallic catalytic converter is that it can handle higher temperatures and is built to last longer than the ceramic ones you find in stock setups. Plus, it’s lighter, which is always a bonus when you’re looking to shed some weight off your vehicle.
We’re all about quality here. Our downpipes are made from 100% 304 grade stainless steel and feature mandrel bent piping for a smooth flow. Each piece is TIG welded by our skilled fabricators right here in the USA. We’ve even replicated the factory turbocharger turbine housing’s 3.5" V-Band flange using CNC machined billet 304 stainless steel. You won’t have to worry about fitment issues; this thing bolts right on without a hitch.
Whether you’re sticking with the factory exhaust or going aftermarket, our downpipe fits like a glove. It comes in a brushed finish by default, but you can also opt for a high-temperature black thermal coating to help keep those underhood temps down.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what you get:
Fitment:
Basically, if you’ve got a 2024 or newer BMW X5, X6, X7, or XM with the S28 engine, this downpipe is going to be a game-changer. Get ready to feel the difference!
