Description
Unlock the hidden potential of your BMW B46 engine with the Active Autowerke BMW B46 Catted Downpipe. Designed for the 230i, 330i, and 430i models, this high-performance downpipe is engineered to enhance your driving experience.
BMW introduced the B46 engine with a valve-tronic, single turbo configuration in their F-Chassis models since 2016. However, the factory downpipe imposes restrictions that hinder the engine's full potential. With the Active Autowerke B46 Catted Downpipe, you can overcome these limitations and unleash the true power of your BMW.
Crafted from 3-1/2 inch diameter stainless steel piping, this downpipe offers superior strength, durability, and optimal airflow. Its design incorporates a stainless flex joint and a ball flare to seamlessly integrate with the OEM exhaust system. The inclusion of a 4" high-flow GESI catalytic converter ensures compliance with emissions regulations without triggering a Check Engine Light.
The GESi G-Sport Ultra High Output Catalytic Converter boasts a full 304 stainless steel construction, including the substrate. It is EPA registered and compliant in 49 states, making it suitable for use on 1996 and newer vehicles. GESi's proprietary precious metal loading technology guarantees significantly reduced emissions, eliminating the majority of "Check Engine Lights." This high-flow catalytic converter outperforms stock converters, resolving common catalytic converter issues.
With a rating suitable for engines producing between 300 and 500 horsepower, the GESi UHO-Series Catalytic Converter offers exceptional flow capacity. Its reduced back-pressure allows your engine to maximize horsepower output without compromising emissions compliance. Say goodbye to Check Engine Lights and failed emissions tests!
Please note that these catalytic converters are not legal for use on vehicles registered in the state of California due to state regulations.

The GESI catalytic converter produces emissions that meet the standards set by the EPA, but not CARB.
