BMW F-Chassis Valved Axle-Back Exhaust System – Version 2

T304 Stainless Steel with Electronic Valves & Cast Y-Pipe


Overview

The Version 2 Valvetronic Designs F-Chassis Valved Exhaust is our most refined system yet for the BMW F-Series lineup. Designed for maximum performance, versatility, and longevity, V2 introduces a host of improvements, including a new valve design for optimal reliability, relocated hangers, and revised muffler internals for a more docile, refined tone when valves are closed.

A newly engineered cast Y-pipe maximizes exhaust flow and enhances tonal quality, delivering a more engaging and sonorous sound across the rev range. Whether paired with the OEM mid-pipe or most aftermarket mid-pipes matching factory dimensions, this system offers seamless fitment and an uncompromising sound experience.


Why It Works

  • New Valve Design: Improved durability and responsiveness over previous versions.

  • Refined Closed-Valve Acoustics: Reduced volume and smoother tone for daily driving comfort.

  • Cast Y-Pipe Upgrade: Increases flow and improves exhaust scavenging for a richer, more balanced tone.


Sound & Control

  • Valves Open: Deep, raw, and aggressive tone with loud pops, sharp overrun snaps, and pronounced gear-change sounds.

  • Valves Closed: Near-stock volume for quiet commuting or late-night driving.

  • Dynamic Drive Mode Integration: Fully compatible with BMW’s factory drive mode settings for instant sound control.



Construction & Quality

  • Material: Brushed T304 stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance.

  • Craftsmanship: Precision TIG welds and full mandrel bends for optimal flow.

  • Tips: Sleeve-style exhaust tips for perfect alignment and premium appearance.

  • Valve System: OEM-style electronic valves with rapid open/close function; extension harness included.

ECU tuning is the process of adjusting the engine control unit's software to enhance vehicle performance, efficiency, or fuel economy.

It can, depending on the manufacturer. Many warranties do not cover modifications like ECU tuning.

Use the highest octane fuel recommended for your specific tune to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Yes, a properly tuned car can be used daily, as long as the tune is tailored for reliable, everyday driving.

CPC (Central Powertrain Controller) and TCU (Transmission Control Unit) manage your vehicle's powertrain and transmission systems, respectively.

Map switching allows you to change between different tuning settings (maps) for varying driving conditions without having to retune the ECU.

Yes, if done by a professional using proper tools, ECU tuning is generally safe for your vehicle.

ECU tuning works by modifying the software that controls engine parameters like fuel mixture, ignition timing, and boost pressure to optimize performance.

The process of installing a tune depends on the vehicle’s make and model. Some tunes are installed by connecting a tuning device to your car’s OBD-II port and uploading the tuned software, others may require ECU unlock.

Stage 1 is for vehicles with no modifications, stage 2 is for vehicles with bolt-on upgrades or downpipes installed.

We offer post-installation support, troubleshooting, and guidance on using your tuning software and hardware.

Choose tuning software that is compatible with your vehicle, has good reviews, and suits your performance goals (e.g., reliability vs. max power).
