These federal EPA-compliant 400-cell catted downpipes give your S55-powered M2 Competition, M3 or M4 better exhaust flow, quicker turbo response and more sound without going catless. The kit replaces both restrictive factory downpipes while keeping a catalytic converter behind each turbo.
The 400-cell catalysts open up the exhaust without bringing the smell and harsh sound that normally comes with catless downpipes. Run them with the factory exhaust for more turbo sound and a deeper tone, or pair them with an aftermarket exhaust when you want to hear more of the S55.
Please Note: EPA compliant does not mean CARB legal or 50-state legal. These downpipes are for federally certified vehicles and cannot be sold for vehicles registered in California or other states that require CARB compliance.
