Active Autowerke Equal-Length Mid-Pipe — S55
Active Autowerke equal-length mid-pipe for the S55 — F80 M3, F82/F83 M4. The S55's factory down-pipe lengths differ between banks by nearly a foot and a half, spacing the exhaust pulses unevenly — the root of the rasp. This corrects it.
The design
A patented equal-length design (US 11,248,511; EU/UK 3,882,441) that matches both banks for a smooth, cohesive straight-six tone. This is the Gen 2 (it replaced the original, no longer made) with resonators that strip the rasp and cut the 2,000-rpm drone. 304 stainless, and it includes Active Autowerke's F-brace to restore tunnel rigidity once the factory mid-section is out.
Where it fits
Sits between the S55 downpipes and the rear exhaust. Off-road / race use only.
Fitment
BMW S55 — F80 M3, F82 M4, F83 M4 Convertible. (F87 M2 Competition uses a separate mid-pipe.) Confirm your chassis in the selector.
