The Akrapovic Catted Downpipe DP-BM/SS/8 is a high-flow Stainless Steel Downpipe designed specifically for the BMW G8x M2 / M3 / M4 with S58 engine, engineered to work in concert with Akrapovic Slip-On Line or Evolution exhaust systems. This downpipe incorporates sport-oriented catalytic converters (≈200 cpsi) with heat insulation and precision-cast inlet sections from Akrapovic’s in-house foundry for excellent fitment and robust performance. The design promotes freer exhaust flow compared to stock, producing a more aggressive and emotive sound at higher RPMs while maintaining controlled character without excessive drone. Because this component significantly alters exhaust flow and backpressure, ECU remapping is required to prevent check engine lights and unlock its full potential. This product is intended for closed-course or track use and may not be emissions-legal for street use in many regions.
Designed for BMW M3 (G80) with S58 3.0L engine (including Competition variants)
Also compatible with BMW M2/ M4 (G87 / G82 / G83) when used with matching Akrapovic exhaust systems
Intended for use with Akrapovic exhaust components (Slip-On Line or Evolution Line)
Requires ECU remapping/tuning after installation to avoid error codes
Not emissions compliant for street use in many regions and may be restricted for road use
Pair of high-flow stainless steel downpipes with integrated high-flow cats (≈200 cpsi)
Cast inlet sections for OEM-aligned fitment
Heat-insulated sections to manage thermal load
Material: High-quality stainless steel for heat resistance and durability
Catalytic converter: Sport-oriented high-flow units (~200 cpsi) integrated
Design: Precision-cast sections matched to OEM turbo outlets
