Valvetronic Designs T304 Stainless Valved Sport Exhaust System - 2017+ BMW M550i (G30)
This Valvetronic Designs system is a free-flow, mandrel-bent T304 stainless valved sport exhaust for the BMW G30 M550i, a direct bolt-on using the OEM mounting points with no cutting or welding required. Electronic valves with rapid open and close response give you a quiet, refined mode and a fully open mode without waiting on the car to catch up.
Valvetronic Designs publishes this system as 6.3 lb lighter than the factory exhaust, and it's a 100% bolt-on, reversible installation that keeps the factory system available to refit at any time.
Important Compatibility Information
BMP also carries this system in Grade 5 titanium for this same platform.
Why Upgrade
Free-flow mandrel-bent construction and a lighter build than the factory system pair with electronic valves that respond quickly, so the switch between quiet and open modes isn't sluggish. It's built specifically for the M550i's V8, not adapted from a six-cylinder 5 Series system.
