Emissions & off-road notice. Catless configurations are sold for closed-course competition and off-road use only and are not legal for street use on pollution-controlled vehicles. You are responsible for compliance with the emissions laws where you drive. Prefer a street-friendly setup? Choose a 200-cell high-flow configuration above.

Fitment: 2012–2016 BMW 328i & 330i (F30) — N20 turbo 2.0L L4

Precision mandrel-bent stainless steel catless downpipe, TIG-welded with CNC-machined flanges for a factory-fit bolt-on. Removing the restrictive OEM cat frees exhaust flow for faster spool, a deeper note, and meaningful power once tuned.

  • Mandrel-bent stainless steel — corrosion & heat resistant
  • Direct bolt-on, OEM-location flanges & hangers
  • Best paired with a supporting tune to clear codes and unlock gains
  • See the engine-specific fitting walkthrough in The Garage

Catless / de-cat design — intended for off-road & competition use only. You are responsible for emissions compliance where you drive.

  • Let the exhaust cool fully, then raise and support the car on stands or ramps.
  • Soak the fasteners and O2 sensors with penetrating oil before removal.
  • Transfer your O2 sensors to the new pipe — OEM sensor positions are retained.
  • Seat the flange and tighten the V-band clamp evenly, then torque to spec.
  • Running catless? Pair it with a supporting tune to manage fuel trims and the CEL.
  • Every order is fitment-confirmed before it ships — stuck? We’ll walk you through it.
