Active Autowerke 335 Downpipe (N54)



A turbo impeller wheel speed is mostly limited by the exhaust back pressure within the system. If one could eliminate some or most of this exhaust back pressure, the turbo will spool that much faster and effortlessly resulting in quicker engine revs and increase HP. The Active Autowerke Signature down pipe is designed with the intent to maximize in power. The down pipes are created with the least amount of restrictions possible by utilizing a full 3" piping throughout with the least amount of bends possible.

note: designed for off-road use, car will have CEL without Active Autowerke Software Upgrade for Off-Road use

Key Features:

-Designed with less restrictive curves and more straight flows
-Full 3.00" diameter piping throughout allows for maximum power output
-Quicker turbo spool
-Durable construction from 304 stainless with 1.50mm wall thickness
-Precise fit installation
-Full down pipe exhaust support braces relieves load bearing stress
-Installation instructions included

Looks nice, good to see new vendors in the arena but...

$700


Take out the BMW tax if you want to have an edge on the competition.

I wish the AR pipes came with the mounting bracket. Would of made me feel nice in warm knowing it was secure with the brackets and not only by the turbo.

If i'm not mistaken, that is a fair price for a "quality" set of downpipes.

Most of our exhaust systems are done out of the country but we do final 'bracketry' and welding in house depending on the product. We are getting detailed photos taken in the next day or two that will show its true quality.

$700 for out of country made DPs.... I think I'll go with AR when I'm in the market for a quality DP.

Active makes good stuff and is one of the older BMW tuners in the country. I wholeheartedly support their products... and they usually do forum pricing that is a little more attractive.

There are plenty of choices for $700. That BB fabrication stuff had alot for potential for a low price, looked as good as AR Design, too bad that they kind of disappeared and also increased their prices...
