BMW M3 F80 / M4 F82 / M2C F87 Valvetronic Catback Single Mid-Pipe Stainless Steel Exhaust System

Engineered for BMW M3 F80, M4 F82/F83, and M2 Competition F87 owners, this Valvetronic Catback Single Mid-Pipe Stainless Steel Exhaust System ships with its own electronic control box and wireless remote. Valve management is integrated during installation and afterward operated via the supplied remote. Imported from leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this system bolts directly to the stock mid-pipe v-band and fits all S55-powered F80/F82/F83/F87 Competition models.

The single mid-pipe geometry provides a clean and effective flow path. Compared to the double mid-pipe variant, the sound character is more tonal and daily-driver friendly. Elevates the S55 engine note above OEM without creating noise pollution. 90 mm twin exit tips are customer-selectable in Glossy Black Stainless, Polished Stainless, Matte Carbon Fiber, or Glossy Carbon Fiber finishes.

Key Features

Titanium vs. Stainless Steel: This Is Stainless

This product is the T304 stainless steel variant:

• T304 Stainless Steel (this product): Durable, deeper sound tone, lifetime rust-resistance, cost-effective
• Titanium: noticeably lighter, sharper metallic note, heat-tint finish, higher cost
• For daily driving + lifetime durability: stainless is the preferred choice
• This product is the daily-driving-oriented stainless variant with a tonal sound character

Single Mid-Pipe, Double Mid-Pipe, and Equal-Length: The Difference

Single, double, and equal-length mid-pipe configurations sit at the same price tier and offer different sound and flow characters. There is no price difference; the choice is entirely about the sound you want:

• Single Mid-Pipe, this product: Clean flow path, more tonal and daily-friendly sound. Calmer at low RPM, clean exhaust note at high RPM.
• Double Mid-Pipe: Twin parallel flow paths, more aggressive and fuller sound character, slightly higher flow at high RPM.
• Equal-Length: Two parallel pipes of identical length, post-turbine pulse synchronization, cleanest high-RPM note and a marginal performance edge.

G80/G82/G87 Incompatibility Notice

This catback is NOT compatible with the BMW M3 G80, M4 G82, M2 G87 (2021+). New-generation G-series cars use the S58 engine with a different chassis geometry. A separate G-series catback is required.

Installation Notes

Catback exhaust replacement requires lift access and professional installation. General procedure:

1. Lift the vehicle and loosen rear bumper underbody screws.
2. Release the stock catback mid-pipe v-band clamp.
3. Replace OEM exhaust hangers (rubber isolators) if worn.
4. Mount the included electronic control box in a suitable location and connect the valve actuator wiring.
5. Hang the new catback on hanger points and torque the v-band clamp (torque: 12 Nm).
6. Confirm the exit tips are centered in the bumper cutout.
7. Pair the wireless remote and test valve open/close operation.

Care & Maintenance

T304 stainless is corrosion-resistant. Wipe polished tips with a soft cloth; avoid aggressive chemicals. If you selected carbon fiber tips, use a carbon-safe cleaner. Post-track carbon residue can be removed with a stainless cleaner. Re-check bolt torque after first 500 km.
