Valvetronic Designs designs that merge section to reduce turbulence and improve scavenging, aiming for a richer, more balanced tone out of the S85 V10 than the factory system delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValve control is a vacuum-actuated system with a key fob remote, so you choose between a smooth, mellow closed setting and the S85's high-pitched wail with the valves open. It's a direct bolt-on installation with no permanent modification and is 100% reversible to the factory system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Upgrade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large center merge section is the design detail that separates this from a simple straight-pipe catback: Valvetronic Designs built it specifically to improve scavenging and reduce turbulence, which is what gives the open setting its richer, more balanced character rather than just more noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT304 stainless steel, brushed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge center merge section for improved scavenging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully mandrel-bent tubing, precision TIG welds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVacuum-actuated valves with key fob remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on, no permanent modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% reversible to factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT304 stainless valved exhaust system with large center merge section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVacuum-actuated valves with control hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll necessary clamps and installation hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequired but not included:\u003c\/strong\u003e this system bolts to your OEM or an aftermarket downpipe; downpipes are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOwnership Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the vacuum valve hardware ever needs replacing, BMP also stocks the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valvetronic-designs-vacuum-valve-control-kit\"\u003eValvetronic Designs vacuum valve control kit\u003c\/a\u003e that matches this system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0;\" title=\"Valvetronic Designs E60 M5 valved exhaust with stock headers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/CN-CxrHM-v4?rel=0\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: for the E60 M5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: T304 stainless steel, brushed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: large center merge section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve control: vacuum-actuated valves with key fob remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: V044 BMW.E60.M5.VSES.BR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMPN: BMW.E60.M5.VSES.BR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeed a Valvetronic Designs System for a Different BMW M?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/valvetronic-designs-bmw-e9x-m3-v2-stainless-steel-axle-back\"\u003eE9X M3 V2 stainless axle-back\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/valvetronic-designs-bmw-f10-m5-exhaust-system-stainless-steel\"\u003eF10 M5 exhaust system\u003c\/a\u003e for the successor M5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/valvetronic-designs-bmw-e46-valved-sport-exhaust-section-3-stainless-steel\"\u003eE46 valved sport exhaust\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the valve controlled?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA vacuum-actuated system with a key fob remote, so you switch between the closed and open settings on your own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this require any permanent modification to install?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It's a direct bolt-on installation with no cutting or permanent modification, and it's 100% reversible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this include the downpipes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This system bolts to your OEM or an aftermarket downpipe; downpipes are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the valved catback sound like closed versus open?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClosed is smooth and mellow for daily driving; open lets the S85 V10's high-pitched wail through.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valvetronic Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51289885442295,"sku":"V044 BMW.E60.M5.VSES.BR","price":2699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/4898\/2060\/files\/b9111318559d3.jpg?v=1791583070","url":"https:\/\/blackforestindustries.com\/products\/valvetronic-designs-bmw-e60-m5-5-0l-catback-stainless-brushed","provider":"Black Forest Industries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
