BMW F87, M2 (N55) Titanium Valved Catback Exhaust

This is the N55 M2 at its loudest and its lightest. A full titanium valved catback for the BMW F87 M2 - everything from the mid-section back replaced in aerospace-grade titanium, with an electronically valved centre muffler, quad tips and a hand heat-anodised finish you choose yourself.

The factory M2 exhaust is deliberately restrained, and the N55 cars are the quietest of the F87 run. Going titanium rather than stainless changes two things at once: the system is substantially lighter over the rear axle, and the note is sharper and higher-pitched in a way stainless steel simply cannot reproduce.

The valves are vacuum operated and controlled from a supplied remote, so the sound is yours to choose rather than the car's. Closed, it is close enough to standard for an early start; open, it is a different car entirely.

Manufactured from titanium throughout with mandrel bends and TIG welds, finished with quad burnt titanium tips and available in three anodised colours.

Key Features

Full Titanium Construction

Aerospace-grade titanium through the pipework, muffler body and tips, for exceptional heat tolerance, corrosion resistance and a significant weight saving over both the factory system and a stainless replacement.

Electronically Valved Centre Muffler

Vacuum-operated valves on a supplied remote, so you choose the volume rather than the throttle position choosing it for you.

Signature Titanium Exhaust Note

Sharper, higher-pitched and more exotic than stainless, with cleaner overrun, stronger crackles and a distinctly motorsport tone at high RPM.

Precision TIG Welded

Clean, strong welds built to handle exhaust temperature cycling and hard driving.

Quad Burnt Titanium Tips

Quad tips as standard, with black, chrome or carbon fibre style selected at checkout.

Direct Bolt-On Fitment

Fits at the factory mounting points and hangers. No cutting and no fabrication.

Built for the N55

Sized for the single-turbo N55 M2 specifically rather than adapted from the S55 Competition system.

Choose Your Titanium Finish

The colour on a titanium exhaust is produced by heat, not by paint or coating, and it runs through the pipework and muffler body as one continuous finish. Three options are available:

Blue - the finish shown in our photography. Deep blue through the piping with gold and violet heat banding across the bends and weld lines.

Purple - rich purple and magenta across the system with bronze shading over the muffler body.

Gold - warm bronze and gold dominant, with blue and violet coming through at the bends and weld lines.

Because the finish is created by heat, no two systems are identical and the banding will vary slightly from the photographs. That variation is characteristic of anodised titanium rather than a fault. Tip finish is selected separately above.

Vehicle Fitment

BMW F87 M2 (2016-2018)

3.0L Turbocharged N55 Engine

This system is for the N55 M2. The F87 M2 Competition and M2 CS (2019-2021) run the twin-turbocharged S55 and use a different exhaust system - see our F80/F82/F87 S55 titanium catback for those cars.

Please Note

Professional installation is recommended. Exhaust sound will vary depending on whether factory or aftermarket downpipes are fitted.

Check your local road rules before fitting. Exhaust noise requirements vary by state and a vehicle must remain compliant for road use.
