Overview
The S55's factory downpipe includes a pre-catalyst that limits exhaust flow from both turbocharger outlets. This catless downpipe removes that restriction — with a flexible section included to manage the movement between engine and chassis under hard use.
Why Upgrade?
- Removes the primary restriction in the factory post-turbo exhaust path
- Improved turbo spool — the turbo recovers and builds pressure faster
- More defined exhaust tone under load
- Stainless steel construction for longevity
- Provides the foundation for meaningful power gains on a tuned map
Engineering Focus
SS304 stainless steel construction with an integrated flexible section. The flexible pipe accommodates the engine movement present in hard-driven F8X applications, reducing stress on the joint between downpipe and mid section.
