{"product_id":"vrsf-bmw-n55-ewg-high-flow-catted-downpipe","title":"VRSF BMW N55 EWG High-Flow Catted Downpipe","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis downpipe is the best bang-for-buck modification available for the N55. Backpressure is significantly reduced by eliminating the restrictive catalytic converter in the factory downpipe with a high-flow 200-cell race cat, resulting in faster turbo spool, a genuine increase in power (20-25hp with a tune), and a more aggressive exhaust note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHand-crafted from mandrel-bent SS304-grade stainless steel with smooth radius bends to decrease turbulence, CNC-precision-machined flanges are also constructed from billet 304-grade stainless steel. This downpipe is a direct bolt-on application with no cutting necessary, and fits the stock catback as well as all aftermarket catbacks. Optional ceramic coating is available using Cerakote's high-temperature coating, rated to withstand temperatures up to 1800°F, using their best thermal barrier coating to keep hot exhaust gases contained rather than radiating into the engine bay, genuinely helping reduce intake air, engine, and transmission oil temps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e this 4in downpipe is specific to \u003cstrong\u003eEWG (electronic wastegate)\u003c\/strong\u003e N55 vehicles, generally production after 07\/13.
