VRSF X5M / X6M Race Downpipes, E70 E71 F85 F86 | 2010-2019

The VRSF race downpipes replace the factory downpipes and converters on the S63-powered BMW X5 M and X6 M, from the first-generation E70 and E71 through the F85 and F86. The mid-pipe connection changed between generations, so VRSF offers a 2-bolt flange version and a slip-fit version, and the slip-fit version is also available with a heat shield wrap.

What It Does

The S63 hot-vee layout puts the turbos and their downpipes in a very hot, tight space, and the factory converters add a lot of back pressure. Replacing them helps the turbos spool faster and lowers heat around the engine. VRSF measures 50 to 55 hp and 60 to 65 lb-ft at the wheels with a tune.

Which Flange Do I Need?

E70 X5 M and E71 X6 M models use the 2-bolt flange. F85 X5 M and F86 X6 M models use the slip-fit connection. If you are unsure, send us a photo of the joint between your downpipe and cat-back and we will confirm fitment.

Materials and Construction

The pipes are hand made from mandrel bent 304 stainless steel and TIG welded with smooth radius bends. They use a smooth, full-size design instead of necking down near the turbos, and CAD/CAM-designed CNC flanges. They fit left- and right-hand-drive vehicles without modification.
