This downpipe is listed for BMW N55 models: F30 335i / 335i xDrive (Sedan) 2014, F32 435i / 435i xDrive (Coupe) 2014, F33 435i / 435i xDrive (Convertible) 2014, F34 335i xDrive GT (Gran Turismo) 2014, and F36 435i / 435i xDrive Gran Coupe 2014. Always verify fitment with your VIN or consult the seller—some listings reference 2013/2014 ranges, so confirm exact compatibility before purchase.
Made from 201-grade stainless steel with hand-polished mirror finish. It features TIG welding for strong, crack-resistant seams and CNC-machined flanges for accurate fitment. An integrated flex section reduces exhaust strain.
The package includes one 4" (102 mm) stainless steel downpipe (decat pipe). It typically includes the machined flanges and the integrated flex section. Gaskets, bolts, or O2 sensors are not guaranteed—check the seller listing or ask before purchase.
A catless 4" downpipe can improve turbo efficiency, throttle response, and increase power and torque across the rev range by reducing exhaust restriction and lowering exhaust backpressure/EGTs. Actual gains vary by vehicle, supporting modifications, and tuning—no specific HP numbers are guaranteed.
A tune is highly recommended to optimize air/fuel, reduce the risk of limp-mode or poor drivability, and to take full advantage of the downpipe. In many cases a tune is also needed to prevent or address check engine lights caused by changed O2 sensor readings.
Yes, removing catalytic converters often changes downstream O2 sensor readings and can trigger CELs and emissions-related codes. Solutions include ECU tuning, O2 sensor reprogramming/emulators, or using appropriate hardware—but results depend on the vehicle and local regulations.
Laws vary by country, state, and province. Catless downpipes are illegal for road use in many regions because they remove emissions controls and will often cause a vehicle to fail emissions inspections. Check local laws and smog requirements before installing.
Expect a deeper, freer-flowing exhaust tone with increased turbo and mid/high RPM noise. The car will generally sound louder and more aggressive, especially under boost and wide-open throttle.
The listing states direct fit bolt-on with no modification required. However, you should have a professional mechanic perform the installation to ensure correct alignment, proper flange torque, and sealing. Additional hardware or gaskets may be needed.
Yes—the product description specifically lists compatibility with the xDrive variants noted (e.g., 335i xDrive, 435i xDrive) for the model years advertised. Confirm fitment for your exact chassis and production date.
The description does not explicitly state O2 sensor bungs are included. Many downpipes either include sensor ports or require you to transfer OEM sensors. Confirm with the seller whether O2 bungs/ports and stock sensors are accommodated.
This product includes a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty typically excludes damage from improper installation, misuse, racing, or modifications. Contact the seller for full warranty terms and claim procedures.
Inspect flange bolts and flex section periodically for leaks or looseness. Keep the polished surface clean with non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Check welds and sensor ports after heat cycles. Replace gaskets and hardware as needed during reinstallation.
Catless downpipes can alter heat distribution. Consider heat shielding, ceramic coating, or heat wrap to protect nearby components and reduce under-hood temperatures. Proper heat management can also help prolong sensor and wiring life.
Verify fitment by providing your VIN to the seller or checking part compatibility with your exact chassis and production date. Ask whether O2 sensor ports, gaskets, and hardware are included. Plan for professional installation and consider a tune and local emissions/legal restrictions before installing.
