The N55 downpipe is machined from T304 high-grade stainless steel and are tig welded in house. Sharper throttle response due to faster spool of the turbo. Noticeable power gains and a much more aggressive exhaust note which sounds truly amazing. Produces lower temperatures and less exhaust backpressure due to the relief of the turbocharger. Also, the cylinder charge is increased.
There is also a substantial weight saving in comparison to the factory catalytic converter. Mandrel-bent for better gas flow and maximum internal size to ensure ultimate performance without the loss of mid-range torque.

It will not fit the 135i pre July 2013. We have tested this product and found increases of 10-15bhp. Professional installation is recommended as some exhausts sit slightly different from others and can be tight although the feedback we have received from this product is that it is very easy to fit. If you have a later model car with OPF/PPF filters they will need coding out so you will need to find a tuning company who can do this.
These should pass an MOT emissions test when fitted. They are road legal and Euro 5 rated.
