Description
Upgrade the exhaust sound and driving character of your BMW G42 2 Series Coupe with the DCE Parts Catback Valvetronic Exhaust, designed specifically for the 220i, 225i, and 230i B48 applications. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, this performance exhaust system combines premium construction, adjustable exhaust valve technology, and refined everyday drivability.
The DCE Parts Valvetronic Catback Exhaust is engineered to provide a comfortable and refined exhaust note when the valves are closed. This makes the system well suited for everyday driving and highway cruising, where a controlled cabin sound level is preferred. When the valves are opened, the exhaust produces a deeper, louder, and sportier exhaust note, allowing you to enjoy a more engaging sound during acceleration and spirited driving.
Valvetronic Exhaust Valve Control
The exhaust system is available with electronic or vacuum-controlled exhaust valves, depending on the selected configuration. The valves are operated through a dedicated controller unit, giving you convenient control over the exhaust sound.
The independent exhaust valve control system keeps the valve operation separate from the vehicle's brake system, helping avoid unwanted changes in brake pedal feel that can occur with exhaust valve systems that rely on the vehicle's brake vacuum system.
The high-quality exhaust valves are designed for durability and reliable operation, providing the ideal balance between comfortable daily drivability and a more aggressive sport exhaust sound.
