1,829.99€
BMW’s N20 engine, introduced in the F2X 228i, F3X 328i, and 428i, offers a strong balance of efficiency and power, but the restrictive factory downpipe limits its full potential. The Active Autowerke BMW N20 GESI G-Sport Cat Downpipe is engineered to optimize exhaust flow, enhance turbo spool, and increase horsepower for an immediate performance boost. By eliminating the bottlenecks of the OEM downpipe, this high-performance upgrade allows for quicker acceleration, improved throttle response, and a more aggressive exhaust note.
Constructed from premium 3.5-inch stainless steel piping, this durable and high-flow downpipe is built to withstand extreme temperatures and high-boost applications, making it an ideal choice for both street and track enthusiasts. This variant includes a 4-inch ultra high-flow GESI G-Sport HO-Series catalytic converter, ensuring maximum exhaust flow while eliminating Check Engine Lights (CELs). Made entirely from 304 stainless steel, including the substrate, this N20 GESI G-Sport Cat Downpipe utilizes proprietary precious metal loading technology to reduce emissions while maintaining high-flow capacity, outperforming stock catalytic converters in both performance and reliability.
Designed to support engines producing between 500 and 850 horsepower, the GESI HO-Series catalytic converter significantly reduces back pressure, enabling faster turbo spool, increased power output, and sharper throttle response. Unlike factory downpipes that restrict airflow and limit performance, this upgrade ensures a seamless and efficient exhaust flow, delivering higher power potential without unnecessary restrictions.
For those seeking the ultimate performance enhancement for their BMW F2X 228i, F3X 328i, or 428i, the Active Autowerke N20 GESI G-Sport Cat Downpipe provides exceptional power gains, optimized turbo efficiency, and an aggressive exhaust note while maintaining durability and long-term reliability. Experience smoother power delivery, sharper throttle response, and a true performance upgrade every time you hit the gas.
