BMW 4-Series F83 Downpipes – Catted & Decat Performance Exhaust Upgrades

BMW 4-Series F83 Downpipes – Unleash the Full Potential of Your M4 Convertible

The BMW 4-Series F83 M4 Convertible, produced between 2014 and 2020, delivers the perfect blend of open-top driving pleasure and high-performance engineering. Powered by the twin-turbocharged S55 engine, the F83 offers exceptional power, agility, and excitement. However, the restrictive OEM downpipes limit exhaust flow, holding back your M4’s true potential. Upgrading to performance BMW F83 downpipes is one of the most effective ways to boost horsepower, reduce turbo lag, and enhance exhaust sound.

Why Upgrade to Performance BMW F83 Downpipes?

The stock downpipes are designed to meet strict emissions and noise regulations, which limits exhaust efficiency and turbo performance. Installing high-performance BMW 4-Series F83 downpipes delivers multiple benefits:

• Increased horsepower and torque – optimized exhaust flow reduces backpressure, unlocking hidden power from the S55 engine.
• Faster turbo spool – enjoy quicker throttle response and sharper acceleration.
• Enhanced exhaust tone – catted downpipes provide a smooth, sporty sound, while decat downpipes unleash a raw, motorsport-inspired roar.
• Lower exhaust gas temperatures – improved efficiency protects vital engine components under heavy load.
• Perfect for ECU tuning – essential for Stage 1, Stage 2, and hybrid turbo upgrades.

Types of BMW 4-Series F83 Downpipes

We offer a complete selection of BMW F83 downpipes to suit different tuning goals and driving styles:

Catted BMW F83 Downpipes

Catted downpipes feature a high-flow sports catalytic converter, balancing emissions compliance with improved performance. Perfect for street-driven M4s in regions with strict emissions regulations.

Decat BMW F83 Downpipes

Decat downpipes remove the catalytic converter entirely, maximizing exhaust flow and unlocking peak performance. These are ideal for track-focused builds or areas without emissions restrictions.

Material Options: Stainless Steel & Titanium

The material of your BMW F83 downpipes significantly affects weight, heat resistance, and longevity:

• Stainless steel downpipes – durable, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective; perfect for most builds.
