VRSF BMW N55 PWG High-Flow Catted Downpipe

This 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.

Hand-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.

Important: this 3.5in downpipe is specific to PWG (pneumatic wastegate) N55 vehicles, generally production up to 07/13. EWG (electronic wastegate, post-07/13) vehicles require VRSF's separate 4in downpipe version. Confirm your exact production date or wastegate type before ordering, contact your supplier with the last 7 digits of your VIN if you need help confirming which version your car requires.
