Active Autowerke Valved Axle Back Rear Exhaust BMW F97 X3M F98 X4M
Price range: 3,419.99€ through 4,169.99€
The Active Autowerke Valved Rear Exhaust BMW F97 X3M F98 X4M is the ultimate upgrade to unleash the true M-car sound and performance your SUV deserves. Designed specifically for the F97 X3M and F98 X4M, this axle-back exhaust transforms the overly subdued factory exhaust into a deep, aggressive growl worthy of BMW’s high-performance heritage. If you’ve been searching for a way to make your M-car sound as powerful as it feels, this exhaust delivers in every way.
The factory exhaust on the F97 X3M and F98 X4M, while efficient, lacks the character and presence expected from an M-series vehicle. The Active Autowerke Rear Exhaust BMW F97 X3M F98 X4M is engineered to increase sound levels and resonance while preserving refinement and functionality. Utilizing the original valve actuators, this system integrates seamlessly with your SUV’s existing valve control, allowing for smooth transitions between a sporty growl at low RPMs and a thunderous roar under spirited driving.
This exhaust is part of a complete solution designed by Active Autowerke, which includes a mid-pipe and GESI catted downpipes for maximum performance and sound transformation. When paired together, the full system elevates the F97/F98 to deliver unparalleled acoustics and optimized exhaust flow. However, for those who prefer to retain the stock mid-pipes, a standalone version of the rear exhaust is available. It offers a subtle but noticeable enhancement in sound while maintaining compatibility with the factory setup.
Crafted with precision, the Active Autowerke Rear Exhaust BMW F97 X3M F98 X4M is built to not only improve sound but also enhance performance. The increased flow efficiency contributes to better throttle response and overall driving enjoyment. Whether installed on its own or as part of the complete Active Autowerke exhaust package, this rear exhaust gives your X3M or X4M the presence and excitement it should have had from the factory.
Please note: while this rear exhaust delivers a significant improvement, the most dramatic sound enhancements come when paired with the Active Autowerke mid-pipe. Should you choose to upgrade to the mid-pipe later, additional connecting components may be required.
Rediscover the joy of driving with the Active Autowerke Rear Exhaust BMW F97 X3M F98 X4M. With over 40 years of expertise, Active Autowerke ensures every component is engineered for exceptional quality, performance, and durability. Experience the sound, performance, and thrill that make your M-car feel like a true M-car again.

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.
