VRSF S55 Downpipe for F80 M3, F82 M4, M2 Comp | 2015-2021

The VRSF S55 race downpipes replace both factory downpipes and their catalytic converters on the F80 M3, F82 and F83 M4 and M2 Competition, including Competition Package cars. They are a direct bolt-on and are offered in a brushed finish, with a heat shield wrap, or with Cerakote high-temperature coating.

What It Does

The twin-turbo S55 is held back by the restrictive converters in the factory downpipes. Removing them cuts back pressure, so the turbos spool faster and the car pulls harder through the midrange. VRSF measures 20 to 25 hp and 25 to 30 lb-ft at the wheels, and the exhaust gets noticeably louder and more aggressive.

Materials and Construction

Each pipe is hand made from mandrel bent 3-inch 304 stainless steel and TIG welded. A CAD/CAM-designed cast flange gives a smooth transition from the turbo into the pipe. The heat shield option wraps the pipes to keep heat away from nearby parts, and the Cerakote option is rated to 1,800 F. Grade 12 installation hardware is included.
