BMW 4-Series F82 Active Exhaust – Valvetronic Performance Exhaust Systems

BMW 4-Series F82 Active Exhaust – Unleash the Sound and Performance of Your M4

The BMW 4-Series F82 M4, produced between 2014 and 2020, redefined performance in the premium coupe segment. Equipped with the powerful S55 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six engine, the F82 delivers an incredible driving experience, but the factory exhaust system often limits its potential. Designed to meet strict noise and emissions standards, the stock system mutes the aggressive character of the M4. Upgrading to a BMW F82 active exhaust system with valvetronic technology allows you to take full control of your car’s sound and performance.

Why Upgrade to a BMW F82 Active Exhaust?

For many enthusiasts, the stock exhaust simply doesn’t match the performance of the S55 engine. A performance active exhaust brings several key advantages:

• Valvetronic sound control – instantly switch between a quiet, refined tone and an aggressive motorsport-inspired roar.
• Dual driving personality – enjoy silent cruising in Comfort Mode and an exhilarating soundtrack in Sport+.
• Enhanced performance – reduced backpressure improves turbo spool, throttle response, and horsepower output.
• OEM integration – works seamlessly with factory electronics and drive mode settings.
• Ideal for tuning – supports Stage 1, Stage 2, hybrid turbos, and custom ECU remaps.
