Instead of joining the two pipes at a sharp junction, the front pipes are welded together along a long tapered merge collector, so the flow from both turbochargers combines smoothly into one 89mm pipe. The result is a deeper, smoother single-pipe note with less turbulence through the middle of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from mandrel-bent stainless steel with precision TIG welding throughout, with a braided flex section to absorb engine movement, and supplied with the support bracket plate, connecting sleeves and clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTapered Merge Collector\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two 76mm front pipes run side by side and taper into each other over a long welded collector, merging the exhaust gradually rather than at an abrupt junction for smoother flow and a cleaner tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e89mm Single Centre Pipe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth banks flow through one 89mm centre pipe, replacing the factory dual-pipe layout and giving the S58 a deeper, more unified single-pipe sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks With The Factory Rear Section\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outlets split back to twin pipes and slide straight onto the factory rear muffler, so the OEM valves and tips stay in place - or pair it with an aftermarket rear section later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBraided Flex Section\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn integrated braided flex joint absorbs engine and drivetrain movement, reducing stress on the welds and helping prevent rattles and cracking over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMulti-Piece Clamped Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBand-clamped joints along the centre section make the mid pipe easier to manoeuvre into place and allow fine adjustment of alignment during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandrel-bent stainless throughout for consistent bore, corrosion resistance and long service life, with clean, precise TIG welds at every joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Kit With Bracket Plate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied with the support bracket plate, slip-fit connecting sleeves and band clamps needed to join the mid pipe to the rear section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect Bolt-On Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for the G80, G82 and G87 using the factory mounting locations, bolting straight to the downpipe outlets for straightforward installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen paired with supporting modifications and tuning, this mid pipe can provide:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Increased exhaust flow and reduced backpressure\u003cbr\u003e• Faster turbo spool and improved throttle response\u003cbr\u003e• A deeper, smoother single-pipe exhaust tone\u003cbr\u003e• Weight reduction over the factory centre section\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance gains may vary depending on supporting modifications and tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMW G80 M3 (2021+)\u003cbr\u003eBMW G82 M4 (2021+)\u003cbr\u003eBMW G87 M2 (2023+)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.0L Twin-Turbocharged S58 Engine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich OPF Option Do I Need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuropean-delivered cars are fitted with a particulate filter (OPF\/GPF) in the exhaust.
