BMW F87, M2 (N55) Performance Charge Pipes

Replace the weakest link in your BMW F87 M2 with these Performance Charge Pipes — a two-piece aluminium set that removes the factory plastic pipework between the turbocharger and the intercooler.

The N55 leaves the factory with moulded plastic charge pipes. They are light and they are quiet, and on a standard car they are fine. Add boost and they become the part everyone talks about: the plastic goes brittle with heat cycling and the moulded elbow is a known failure point, usually letting go under full load and leaving the car in limp mode a long way from home.

These are mandrel-bent aluminium with a wrinkle black finish, supplied with a reinforced silicone coupler and two stainless T-bolt clamps. They hold boost that plastic will not, and they do it permanently.

Key Features:

Mandrel-Bent Aluminium
A consistent internal diameter through every bend, with none of the wall-thickness variation moulded plastic carries.

Removes the Known Failure Point
The factory charge pipe is the single most common boost leak on a tuned N55. This takes it out of the equation.

Wrinkle Black Finish
A textured powder coat that shrugs off engine bay heat and does not fade like a gloss finish.

Reinforced Silicone Coupler
Multi-ply silicone rather than the thin rubber the factory uses, rated well beyond anything a tuned N55 will ask of it.

Stainless T-Bolt Clamps Included
Two proper T-bolt clamps in the box, not worm drives that cut into silicone and slip under pressure.

Direct Bolt-On Fitment
Uses the factory mounting points and sensor ports. No cutting and no fabrication.

Performance Benefits:

Eliminates the factory charge pipe as a boost leak and a failure point

Holds boost reliably on a Stage 1 or Stage 2 tune

Smoother internal bore than the moulded plastic it replaces

Retains the factory diverter valve and sensor locations

A fit-and-forget upgrade rather than a service item

3.0L Turbocharged N55 Engine

N55 Only - Not the M2 Competition:

This set is for the N55 M2. The M2 Competition runs the S55 twin-turbo engine with a completely different charge air layout, and takes our F80/F82/F87 (S55) charge pipes instead.

Please Note:

Professional installation is recommended. An ECU tune is not required for the part to work, but it is where the benefit is felt.
