I guess I'm looking for some kind of exhaust flow numbers between the two. I am not sure if you guys have the equipment to do that or not. I totally understand that there's no contest between the two, I was just curious.

The flow is not the only major key. We take into account multiple different factors to get you the best possible product such as duration, diameter and cell count and location of the cat. Our original design of the M235i downpipe had some issues because of unforeseen factors. We since have completely redesigned the product to ensure that no CEL comes on, while still maintaining great power gains.

Fabspeed Motorsport do you guys have the OEM exhaust diagram? I'm curious to know if you guys would offer the mid sections between the downpipe and muffler.

Would a Dinan resonator delete mate to your muffler delete? I'd imagine we could clamp it on both ends if spacing is an issue between the openings.

Hey toastie! Our systems are designed to mate to factory settings. So as long as long as everything mates to factory settings as well, you shouldn't have any issues! Check your PMs, and I can get you set up.

This is exactly what I planned on doing, let me know if it works out!

You guys should do a group buy! get tons of guys in on it I bet.

I would be interested in the muffler delete.

Fabspeed Motorsport is proud to announce the launch of our M2 exhaust lineup! Thank you again to pup73 for graciously allowing us to use his M2 for development. We will be generating more photos and video as soon as possible.

Muffler Bypass Exhaust System

The M2 has a great voice to match the power it produces, and we wanted to let it sing. Our Muffler Bypass Exhaust system for the M235i has been quite successful as a lightweight and aggressive option, and we have crafted a variant specifically for the M2. This is an exhaust for those who like it mean. Expect an intoxicating and menacing barrage of pops and crackles upon deceleration. In-cabin tone is very reasonable, though, and even with our Sport Cat Downpipe installed it still remains a daily-drivable (and daily-enjoyable) setup. Shed 14 lbs from the rear of the car and let everyone know you mean business.



Choose between polished dual wall tips and brushed single-wall stainless steel tips:




Installation requires cutting the factory exhaust near a factory break point. Everything required for installation is included. The Fabspeed system installs quickly over the factory piping using the included Torca clamp. Reinstallation of the factory rear muffler is easy.

Sport Cat Downpipe

Tried and tested on the M235i and now available for the M2, our Sport Cat Downpipe incorporates a 200-cell HJS catalyst to add power and a mean sound without triggering a check engine light. This same cat core is used on our Ferrari 458 Italia applications and is more than up to the task of enduring aggressive street driving.




Catbypass Downpipe


Replace the restrictive factory catalytic converters with a free-flowing straight pipe section for maximum exhaust flow and unleash all the burbles the N55 is known for. Durable T304L stainless steel and properly located O2 sensor bungs ensure longevity and proper performance. A CEL is to be expected.

POWER GAINS:



Put to the test on our in house Dynojet, our Muffler Bypass Exhaust and Sport Cat combo gains 16whp and 40 ft-lbs of torque power without triggering a check engine light! At 4250 RPM experience an outstanding 22whp and 33 ft-lbs of torque. Due to limited time with our development car, we did not dyno components individually. Truthfully, if you are looking for power the downpipes will make the majority of the power while the Muffler Bypass Exhaust is primarily to alter the sound.

CONSTRUCTION: Each exhaust component is precision-machined using our state-of-the art Unison CNC electric mandrel bender, Haas CNC machines, and hand welded by our passionate and experienced fabricators. As always, we invite you to come by our shop and showroom for a full tour where you can see our exhaust systems being fabricated first-hand. We are a full service facility with highly experienced technicians ready to install your Valvetronic system with ease.




All mentioned products are currently available. If you have any questions, special requests, or would like to order, please let us know!

Damn fam let me get that 993 out front

I wish it was! A couple of them are our shop cars and a couple customer cars that came in for installs!

[Fabspeed Motorsport]

Our development M2 stopped by our Open House to show off his Sport Cat Downpipe and Muffler Bypass Exhaust. I believe pup73 even took a couple people for a ride as well.

I keep looking at the M235i and M2 exhaust layouts and I'm convinced it's the same. I know you can't confirm whether or not the M235i resonator bypass will fit the M2 but is Fabspeed going to produce one for the F87? Ideally I'd like to have your system as a full TBE.

Comparing the Dinan resonator delete's diameter and Fabspeed's inlet diameter, for what it's worth, you'll create a coke bottle effect from the midsection to the exit since it goes from 3.25" to 2.75".

How much performance difference? Probably nothing since these cars aren't competition cars that you'll need to squeeze every ounce of power available. At least for me IMO.

Unfortunately I do not believe we have any plans to make a midpipe for the M2 since we found there to be no gains in performance and very minimal sound changes.

Fair enough

[Fabspeed Motorsport]

Yet another Sport Cat Downpipe shipping out to a customer. Who else is ready to bump up the performance of their M2?!

[Fabspeed Motorsport]

Halloween special! Free shipping from now until the end of the month! PM me for more details!

Sorry to misinform. It is free domestic shipping from now until the end of the month. I'd still be happy to get you set up though!

I loved the sound of the Exhaust since I first heard the clips.

But the fact that the OEM exhaust needs to be cutoff has always had me on the fence.

Why not make this a complete bolt on application?

We wanted to make the best 'bang for your buck' setup. Since there is little to no value to be added for adding a midsection in, all it would do is drive the cost of the system up. If it costed more for no benefit, why make it? Also keep in mind, the OEM exhaust needs to be cut to put the MPE on as well.
