GET IN TOUCH
The VA Motorsports B48 Catless Downpipe for BMW F and G Series models transforms the way your car breathes, sounds, and performs. It’s built for drivers who know that factory exhaust systems—especially the stock catalytic setup—tend to choke the true potential of the B48 engine. Swap this in, and you’ll immediately notice sharper throttle response, faster turbo spool, and that raw, deep exhaust note that every BMW should’ve had from the start.
Crafted from mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel, this downpipe is all about strength and precision. The smooth, unrestricted bends help maintain consistent exhaust flow, while the CNC-machined flanges ensure a perfect seal every time—no leaks, no fitment drama. You can feel the quality in the way it mounts and the way it holds up under heat. It’s engineered for performance, but also built to last.
This version is catless, which means no catalytic converter—no compromises. The exhaust gases exit with minimal resistance, giving you the purest form of power and sound possible from your B48. Pair it with a proper tune, and you’re looking at a real bump in both horsepower and response. It’s not just louder—it’s smarter, quicker, and more alive.
And for those driving newer models with a Gasoline Particulate Filter (OPF/GPF), VA Motorsports offers a dedicated version that integrates seamlessly without triggering issues. If your car doesn’t have an OPF, the non-OPF version keeps things even cleaner and lighter. Either way, installation is straightforward, and fitment sits tight against the factory mounting points like it was meant to be there.
Compatible with a wide range of BMW F and G Series B48-powered models—including the 120i, 320i, 330i, and more—this downpipe delivers that unmistakable balance of responsiveness and tone. You’ll hear the turbo spool, feel the mid-range torque, and experience a more connected drive every time you get behind the wheel.
And because VA Motorsports stands behind their craftsmanship, the downpipe comes with a lifetime warranty. No nonsense, no fine print—just support from a brand that builds parts the way enthusiasts expect them to be built.
If you’re ready to bring your B48 to life and let it sound the way it should, the VA Motorsports Catless Downpipe is your next move. Simple, effective, and built for performance from day one.

Material | 304 Stainless Steel |
PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.
- Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
- Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
- Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
- Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
